Sally Field
I haven't had an orthodox career.
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
You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
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
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 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
All people want on this earth is to connect with others. Other than eating and sleeping. Human beings need to connect with other human beings. Otherwise, they lose their mind.
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
People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
Sally Field
I have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.
Sally Field
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.
Sally Field
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field
It took me getting to my 50s before I could say Whatever! about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.
