More quotes by Sally Field
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field
In reality, people are people. Age does a weird thing to your body on the outside. It makes your face fall and weird things happen all over. But inside, you're the same person you always were.
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 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'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
Sally Field

Sally Field
Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.
Sally Field

Sally Field
I haven't had an orthodox career.
Sally Field
Change is never easy.
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'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 can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!
Sally Field
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
Sally Field
