More quotes by Sally Field
Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.

I've had such an odd career.
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 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
I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
Sally Field
When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.
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.
