More quotes by 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
The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.
Sally Field
You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.
Sally Field
There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it.
Sally Field
If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any goddamn wars in the first place.
Sally Field
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
Sally Field
I've had such an odd career.
Sally Field
When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.
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
I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.
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 would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.
Sally Field
But I was losing so much bone density that I would have been in grave danger. And I mean grave danger. If I had let it go just a few more years I could have broken my hip or spine just picking up my granddaughter
Sally Field
There's always been a shortage of roles for three-dimensional women, no matter what age. If you look at the statistics on women in film, be they behind the camera or in front of the camera, and it's pretty nauseous-making. It always has been.
Sally Field
Quit thinking about your weight and start thinking about your worth and who you are and what you haven't done yet. What you want to accomplish.
Sally Field
Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. She found him when he was a young lawyer and really a bumpkin. No one knew of him, but she recognized his brilliance.
Sally Field
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
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
Fear is where the information is.
Sally Field
Change is never easy.
