HBO's Six Feet Under star Lili Taylor says plastic surgery is "upsetting and disturbing".

"It's a big deal. It's getting to the point where I wonder if we're going to even know what an older woman looks like," she says to Women's Health magazine.

"It's really upsetting and disturbing to me on so many levels. In 10 or 15 years it's going to be really scary because then we're going to see what happens after you've had all of this plastic surgery. We all know it doesn't get better — it gets worse," the 42-year old actress added.

When asked if that meant she'd never go under the knife, Taylor said: "It's tricky to say "never," but I will never have plastic surgery. There's this great short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne called "The Birthmark." It's about a surgeon who removes this woman's beauty mark, and he destroys a part of her spirit, her soul. It's the perfect analogy for what we do when we cut into what we've got and take it away."

"But you look at someone like Diane Keaton — beautiful, and wow! A woman with wrinkles! We need actresses like that so a woman can say, "I've got wrinkles and I'm normal."

As far as how she handles stress in the industry, Taylor has many go-to options. 

"[I] Walk around New York. Walk through that part of Central Park where all the birds are, the Ramble. I do like people, but I'm a loner and need downtime. If I don't go in and recharge, my fuse is short. And it depends on the quality of the break. You can rest a lot in an hour or have a whole day and not do it properly. One way I get a quality recharge is to connect with nature. To experience something that's bigger than me," she says.
