Sissy Spacek has been taking a break from acting to focus on spending "precious time" at home.
The Carrie star's latest movie Die, My Love - which also features Jennifer Lawrence - hit cinemas earlier this month and she recently appeared in Michelle Williams' TV series Dying for Sex, but the 75-year-old actress admits she hasn't got any more projects lined up so she's been working on her garden and recently treated herself to a stay at a meditation retreat.
She told Interview magazine: "I’ve been doing a lot of hard thinking. I know that sounds weird, but I’m at a time in my life where I’m trying to figure out who I am at this age. A happy grandmother.
"I’ve done some things this year that really were a gift, and I worked with people I really wanted to work with. Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence ...
"I don’t know what I’m going to be doing next work-wise. My gardener quit in the height of the heat dome this summer, so I had to rescue my garden. That was a very grounding thing.
"I’m doing a self-search now. I just went to a week-long meditation retreat."
Sissy went on to insist she's just enjoying spending more time with her husband, production designer/director Jack Fisk, as they get older.
She added: "We’re all home right now, so it’s a real precious time. And we’re getting older, my husband and I. We’re elderly for god’s sake."
It comes after Sissy previously admitted luck has played a big part in her success, which has included winning an Academy Award and three Golden Globes.
She told The Independent newspaper: "I know really great artists. And so much of my success has been because I’ve been at the right place at the right time."
Sissy has starred in a host of successful movies during her career, including Terrence Malick's crime film Badland and the Oliver Stone-directed JFK.
But she believes there are many other actresses who are more talented than she is.
Sissy added: "I met Terry Malick, and then went from that to … you know, I kind of represented the young everywoman of the 70s, and then one thing led to another. There are people who are far more talented than me … so many great artists out there who don’t ever get the break."
