Billy Campbell

Great, Best, Battle

True, Said, Writer

Fun, Said, Film

With actors, all our ages are out there for all to see - you can't hide anything, really. And it's kind of a relief. This is my age, this is what I look like without makeup on - who cares? That youth culture - that lying about your age - it's all denial of death anyway.
Julianne Moore

Age, Death, Youth
