"Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye,”¦" — Alanis Morissette

"Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously."
