More quotes by 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 have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.
Sally Field
Fear is where the information is.
Sally Field
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
Sally Field
My agent said, You aren't good enough for movies. I said, You're fired.
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
You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
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
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.

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 done some good work and some not-good work.
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
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
There's always been a shortage of roles for three-dimensional women, no matter what age. If you look at the statistics on women in film, be they behind the camera or in front of the camera, and it's pretty nauseous-making. It always has been.
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'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
Change is never easy.
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.
