Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

Women are the strong people in this world, not men. I think TV is finally catching up with that reality, and thank God.

Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.

America is not a wily, sneaky nation. We don't think that way. We don't think much at all, thank God.

I think older women still have a full life.
