You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
Sally Field
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.

Image
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

I've had such an odd career.
Sally Field
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.
Sally Field
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Get over it. Get on with your life.
Sally Field
Image
The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.
Sally Field
Image
I'm an actor. I'm trying to be the character and do what they're doing.
Sally Field
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.

My agent said, You aren't good enough for movies. I said, You're fired.
