Quote

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.

More quotes by Jane Fonda

Image
Revolution is an act of love we are the children of revolution, born to be rebels. It runs in our blood.
Jane Fonda
Image
Magazines, books, novels, TV, internet, movies - all of those things is what creates our consciousness.
Jane Fonda
Image
I confess. If the law had been appiled to me properly for what I did in Vietnam, I'd have been convicted for high treason.
Jane Fonda
Image
Women are not forgiven for aging. Robert Redford's lines of distinction are my old-age wrinkles.
Jane Fonda
Image
We've got to establish a socialistic economic structure that will limit private, profit-oriented businesses.
Jane Fonda
Image
I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.
Jane Fonda
Image
We grow up being told, Be a good girl. When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad.
Jane Fonda
Image
I think what's happening in the world - there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded beast, and the patriarchy is wounded.

In the hyper-sensitised reality of the region in which any criticism of Israel is swiftly and often unfairly branded as anti-Semitic, it can become counterproductive to inflame rather than explain and this means to hear the narratives of both sides, to articulate the suffering on both sides, not just the Palestinians.
Jane Fonda
Image
I hate to create cynicism about politicians. We just need to invade. Regular people need to run for office and keep their balls and ovaries intact.
Jane Fonda
Image
The skin is our body's envelope, the wrapping that delivers us to the world. If we understand how the skin functions in mid-life and adjust goals and life-styles appropriately, we'll be surprised how much better we can look.
Jane Fonda
Image
Being by myself, that is to say, without a man - it's been a long time - is allowing me to know what it feels like - to live in my own skin, to remember what I miss and don't miss about a relationship.
Jane Fonda
Image
The capacity of young people to persevere, even under the most adverse conditions, never ceases to amaze me.
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
Consistency can be a trap, especially if it leads to being consistently wrong rather than to stopping, admitting your mistake, and changing course.
Jane Fonda
Image
When women have reclaimed their voices and men reclaimed their hearts, we won't be invading countries, we won't be feeling that we have the right to launch preemptive wars.
Jane Fonda
Image
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.

Image
It's about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics. As a country, we benefit from investing in their future by investing in teen pregnancy prevention.
Jane Fonda
Image
My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.
Jane Fonda
Image
I wasn't a hippie and I wasn't even a bohemian. I was extremely earnest and serious.
