More quotes by 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
I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.
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
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 had to let my ego go a long time ago.
Sally Field
What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.
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 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
There are some actors who are my contemporaries who I think of as purebreds and I'm not.
Sally Field
Get over it. Get on with your life.
Sally Field
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
If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
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 that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
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
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
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 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.
Sally Field
I've had such an odd career.
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
