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.

More quotes by 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'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
It took me getting to my 50s before I could say Whatever! about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.
Sally Field
I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.
Sally Field
Fear is where the information is.
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
Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.
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
I have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.
Sally Field
People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
Sally Field
I never felt safe. In high school, acting is what I did to stay sane. It wasn't about showing off it was about revealing parts of myself that I couldn't reveal anyplace else.
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 wouldnt mind having my heart broken because it would mean that I had that much feeling connected to somebody. And that would be really great.
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
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!
Sally Field
I've had such an odd career.
Sally Field
I had to let my ego go a long time ago.
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
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
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.
