Jane Fonda
Exercise teaches you the pleasure of discipline.
Jane Fonda
When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.
Jane Fonda
I was shocked into the realization that I myself had played an unwitting role as a movie star and sex symbol in perpetrating the stereotypes that affected women all over the world.
Jane Fonda

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

Jane Fonda
Rituals are important. I get up. I take the dogs on a walk around to the front and then I pick up the papers. Then I walk around to the front door, then me and the two dogs come in the house and I give them treats. I make coffee. It's the regularity of these kinds of rituals that I find deeply satisfying.
Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda
You are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism.
Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda
Movies are collective, cooperative endeavours, which I like a lot. But writing is all up to you, it's what's so scary it's just you and that page. But I really like it a lot.
Jane Fonda
When you're an older woman [in a movie] you tend to be in - how did you put it? You're the brunt of the joke.
Jane Fonda
Parents are supposed to give the child back to herself with love. If they've got duct tape over their eyes because of narcissism, it doesn't happen.
Jane Fonda
To make the revolution in the United States is a slow day by day job that requires patience and discipline. It is the only way to make it. . . . All I know is that despite the fact that I am one of the people who benefit from a capitalist society, I find that any system which exploits other people cannot and should not exist.
Jane Fonda
Ted needs someone to be there 100% of the time. He thinks that's love. It's not love - it's babysitting.
Jane Fonda
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.
