“For me, it felt like a ploy to somehow shut me down, to get me to hide, to be quiet, to erase myself, all at the exact moment in my life when I had gained the most intelligence, the most wisdom, and the most confidence.”

“Why in society is the idea that an older woman's face need to be fixed? ...Why did we get from facelifts being unusual to 'Yes'? Why are we even suggesting that all these women need to fix their faces?
...There's an absolute opportunity for anyone to grab onto [aging] and say... even if you spend five minutes going, 'Hey, I look great!' and then notice what comes up: what fear comes up? That's how I go through it: whatever irrational fear comes up I've got to write it down or say it out loud so I can expose it and it can start to erode.”

“I think getting all this plastic surgery is just people pleasing... You don't want people to criticize you anymore so you appease them. The more you do that, the further away you get away from your true self. It doesn't work for me. If somebody said to me now we could do some surgery, wouldn't I be signalling that I'm super insecure? To me, it would.”
