It helps me chill out and focus.
Susan Sarandon
Children reinvent your world for you.

If you're upset with how you look at 25, life's going to be tough.

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.

I had school debt I had to pay off. Sometimes I would do commercials to get me through. And so I kept bumping along like that and learning different things. I knew I wanted to get out on my own. I was just super-curious, and I was a good listener. And that got me through.

Being a Catholic, I was drawn to the mystery of the Latin and the smoke and the mirrors and all of that. That part of my disposition definitely did lend itself to finding my way to the back door of some artistic pursuit.

On parochial school I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
Susan Sarandon
It never really worked for me to have long arguments about motivation.

I feel it's easier to sit in the backseat and go, Oh, yeah, let's go there. You're not worried about getting to the destination. But the guy or the woman who has to get you to the destination is worried about a lot of other things, so my job as an actor is to try as many things as possible, be as open as possible, listen, and keep my heart ope
