The actress, 61, insists that her advancing years doesn’t mean an end to good roles as she believes truly great films will always have a wide range of interesting characters.

“I’ve always loved going from playing the lead in one thing and supporting in another, comedy or drama. That’s what gives me a workout so that I can be a real acting athlete. That’s my goal, I like the different challenges.”
Weaver recently insisted she’s growing old gracefully.
“It’s important to grow old gracefully and that’s what I plan to do,” she said. “I am here to stay. I take care of myself and I have the discipline to stay fit and have good health until I am very old.
“I’m not planning on retiring and in many ways, professionally at least, I think my best days are still to come.”
