I've done four videos for older people under my new brand, Prime Time, and the missing link was yoga. I'm aiming it for older people - people who have never worked out or who are recovering from a surgery and have to start slow.

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.

When a child enters the world through you, it alters everything on a psychic, psychological and purely practical level.
Jane Fonda
Image
I am able to talk about my life in a way that helps other women - and men, but mostly women - understand their own life. I feel real proud of that.
Jane Fonda

I don't like the word 'calculated' because it sounds pejorative. Intentional. Intentional is better, I think. Wild in passion and intentional in expression.

It's never too late - never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
Jane Fonda

Don't give up. There are lessons to be learned even in the most horrendous pain. And you don't know that when you're young.

Through therapy and a lot of thinking and writing my memoirs, I've been able to use my life as a lesson.

Adult women, all of us, have to come to grips with how we have been affected by gender norms, and how we have been silenced. We have to help our daughters. Understanding it within ourselves and helping our young girls stand up for themselves is one way.
