_{We’ve always been told that when leading ladies hit their thirties they’re finished. Five years ago, leading ladies in their mid-twenties were often playing against much-older men. But I think those rules are being bent now. I hope so. If not, it’s my intention to keep working in Europe where it’s easier for women to get more beautiful with age – look at Catherine Deneuve. So instead of thinking, ‘Oh God, how can I slow down the ageing process?’ I’m thinking, ‘How can I bend the rules?’ Every year you add to your life, you’re going to add a different experience to your face. So what if I can’t play this sexy woman? This doesn’t matter. -Naomi Watts}
