You can’t stop the aging process. There’s only so much oil you can put on your body. I’ve always just tried to go with my age. If the part requires somebody a little younger or older, I can probably get away with that.
Meaning of the quote
Aging is a natural process that everyone goes through. No matter how much you try to hide it, your body will continue to change over time. Angie Dickinson says that instead of fighting against it, she just accepts her age. If a role requires her to be a little younger or older, she can usually still play the part. The most important thing is to be comfortable with who you are, no matter how old you get.
