More quotes by 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.

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.

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
My agent said, You aren't good enough for movies. I said, You're fired.
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 think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
Sally Field
You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
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
