More quotes by Kathleen Turner
The roles that are written for women as they grow older in theater are much richer and much more powerful.
Kathleen Turner
The roles that I am attracted to are women who try to do something about their lives, and not a woman who waits for some circumstance or man to come rescue her. I have no interest in that.
Kathleen Turner
I often play women who are not essentially good or likable, and I often go through a stage where I hate them. Then I end up loving and defending them.
Kathleen Turner
A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.

I love the new technology in terms of giving access to doing more independent work. When I first started out, any film had to rent from Panavision and the expenses were humongous. Now, given the advances in technology, you can put out extraordinary quality filmmaking at nothing like the price it used to be.
Kathleen Turner
I'm very practical. What I'm reaching for is individualism for women
Kathleen Turner
I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood
Kathleen Turner
When I'm really hot, I can walk into a room and if a man doesn't look at me, he's probably gay.
Kathleen Turner
I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.
Kathleen Turner
At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers
Kathleen Turner
I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world one quarter are born knowing that they will affect the world
Kathleen Turner
What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids?
Kathleen Turner
I never took to Hollywood.
Kathleen Turner
Fearlessness at twenty springs from not knowing challenges lie ahead. Fearlessness at fifty comes from having wrestled with life's challenges and learned from them.
