"A friend of mine said, 'younger women need you, they need your image and they need your voice, it's a selfish thing you're doing [by not speaking out],'" McDormand said during the Yahoo interview.
In a 2014 New York Times profile, McDormand elaborated on our culture's "desire not to be an adult":
We are on red alert when it comes to how we are perceiving ourselves as a species. There's no desire to be an adult. Adulthood is not a goal. It's not seen as a gift. Something happened culturally: No one is supposed to age past 45 - sartorially, cosmetically, attitudinally. Everybody dresses like a teenager. Everybody dyes their hair. Everybody is concerned about a smooth face.
"I feel nostalgic for a time I didn't even have," she added. "The time before we regarded ourselves with such criticism."
