My agent said, You aren't good enough for movies. I said, You're fired.
Sally Field
If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any goddamn wars in the first place.
Sally Field
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
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
I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
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've done some good work and some not-good work.
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've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all.
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
Get over it. Get on with your life.
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
If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
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
I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.
Sally Field
Like a jerk, I went to a nutritionist and I ate the most repulsive, awful things. I didn't allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers.
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
What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.
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'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.
