I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.
Sally Field
Image
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

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
Image
I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.
Sally Field
Image
My agent said, You aren't good enough for movies. I said, You're fired.

Image
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.

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.

Image
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.
Sally Field
Image
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.

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.
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
Image
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
Sally Field
Image
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
Image
I've grown used to being lonely over the years, so I don't seek to change it. But aren't there many people who are lonely?
Sally Field
Image
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field
Image
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
Image
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.

I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
