Quote

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.

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.

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.

Ted needs someone to be there 100% of the time. He thinks that's love. It's not love - it's babysitting.
Jane Fonda

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
Every woman should eat for the long run so she can manage the short stops of crisis.
Jane Fonda
Image
Christ was the first feminist and because of that I've learned from his teaching to call myself a Christian feminist, adding that her faith is not a matter of traditions and dogmas but, rather, a spiritual experience.
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 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.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
Jane Fonda
Image
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.

We've got to establish a socialistic economic structure that will limit private, profit-oriented businesses.
Jane Fonda
Image
We all, in fact, carry so many people inside us the only difference is that actors get paid for it, and we sort of spruce it up a bit.

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.

I wasn't pretty enough to be the pretty girl and I wasn't unattract­ive enough to be the dorky girl.
