You are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism.
Jane Fonda
Image
Sex and intimacy are not the same: You can have sex all your life and never be intimate with a person. There has to be empathy in the relationship. You have to enjoy seeing through their eyes. When you're with them, you're there and not thinking about what you're gonna do tomorrow.
Jane Fonda
Image
Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.
Jane Fonda
Image
When food becomes the enemy, every time we lose the fight we not only gain weight, but lose our self-esteem as well.
Jane Fonda
Image
When I was in my 40s was I simply produced my own movies because no one offered me anything. But certainly after 50 it's hard for a woman, which is why television is such a welcoming thing.
Jane Fonda
Image
Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?

We're not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.

Instead of drifting along like a leaf in a river, understand who you are and how you come across to people and what kind of an impact you have on the people around you and the community around you and the world, so that when you go out, you can feel you have made a positive difference.

My position on the POW issue has been widely misquoted and taken out of context. What I originally said and have continued to say is that the POW's are lying if they assert it was North Vietnamese policy to torture American Prisoners.
Jane Fonda
Image
I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.
Jane Fonda
Image
I knew that my newfound activism and feminism was going to improve my acting, because I was seeing things not just in very narrow, individual, kind of Freudian terms, but seeing them in a much broader, societal way that was going to deepen and enrich my talent.
Jane Fonda
Image
My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won't complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.
Jane Fonda
Image
Stay curious, keep learning and keep growing. And always strive to be more interested than interesting.
Jane Fonda
Image
No distractions. Center yourself. This is your time.
Jane Fonda
Image
Look what scares you in the face and try to understand it. Empathy is revolutionary.
Jane Fonda
Image
pragmatist that I am, I always meet necessity with enthusiasm.
Jane Fonda
Image
The sex is better and I understand life better. I don't want to be young again.
Jane Fonda
Image
To do life right, you have to feel like you're growing up until the day you die. The thing I'm proudest of is that I have stayed curious. I have every intention, when I'm on my deathbed, of saying, Oh, my God - I get it!

If adolescent pregnancy prevention is to become a priority, then our strategy, as advocates, must contain two key elements: civic engagement and education.

I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.
