Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well
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.

Image
My greatest fear when we were doing Body Heat was that I wouldn't be sexy. I didn't have a self-image of myself as this alluring, powerful, sexual female.
Kathleen Turner
Image
I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate
Kathleen Turner
Image
I am certainly a liberal.
Kathleen Turner

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene
Kathleen Turner
Image
I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up.
Kathleen Turner
Image
I think my mission is to become the greatest human I can. I know that sounds pompous, but what else do we have?
Kathleen Turner
Image
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
Image
I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there's a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.
Kathleen Turner
Image
I never took to Hollywood.
Kathleen Turner
Image
The big gap between the ability of actors is confidence.
Kathleen Turner
Image
I don't think I'm anything like the improviser. I'm not. I do better with at least an outline.
Kathleen Turner
Image
There are always people doing things wrong who need to be taught, for their own good. That's doable.

As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished
