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.

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 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'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
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
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
Sally Field
There are some actors who are my contemporaries who I think of as purebreds and I'm not.
Sally Field
I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.
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 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
I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.
