If I hadn’t left Texas, I might not have met the director Terrence Malick, and I wouldn’t have met my husband and I wouldn’t have had the children that I’ve had. Life is interesting like that.

Sissy Spacek
There's a real danger in trying to stay king of the mountain. You stop taking risks, you stop being as creative, because you're trying to maintain a position. Apart from anything else that really takes the fun out of it.
Sissy Spacek
I've not had a mean life.
Sissy Spacek
My parents were devoted. Civic minded. We had family counsels. Three of us children against two of them. We lived a 'Leave It to Beaver' time.
Sissy Spacek

Sissy Spacek
A great screenplay is the most powerful bait in Hollywood.
Sissy Spacek
I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.

Sissy Spacek
Most things in my life I had before leaving home. Values, support, great family. I was shaped at an early age. A musician playing guitar, I wanted to be a folk singer.
Sissy Spacek
