I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

More quotes by Sally Field
The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.
Sally Field
I've had such an odd career. I always wanted to be a great actor. I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn - ish - there was a bit of nobility about her. Instead I've always felt like the mutt standing on the sidelines, panting and saying, Me, too! How about me? That's just part of my personality.
Sally Field
I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.
Sally Field
I really like cable T.V.
Sally Field
I've grown used to being lonely over the years, so I don't seek to change it. But aren't there many people who are lonely?
Sally Field
I don't want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven't played than I care if my neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.
Sally Field
I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.
Sally Field
I haven't had an orthodox career.
Sally Field
You may be a little older, or a little more neurotic, or a little more closed off. But inside, you're just the same.
Sally Field
Change is never easy.
Sally Field
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
Sally Field
I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
Sally Field
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
Sally Field
I think when you're reaching outside of something you're comfortable doing, you're just heading towards a light. I don't think you stop to justify it.
Sally Field
When you have kept yourself isolated, no one relates to you, you have no way of understanding actually who you are.
Sally Field
We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
Sally Field
I had to let my ego go a long time ago.
Sally Field
I have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.
Sally Field
I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.
Sally Field
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
Sally Field
