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.

More quotes by Sally Field
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
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 didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.
Sally Field
I've had such an odd career.
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
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
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

Sally Field
The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.
Sally Field
You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.
Sally Field
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field
You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
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
The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.
Sally Field
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
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
We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
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
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
