More quotes by Susan Sarandon
I hate the assumption that once you're committed to someone you stop treating each other like individuals. I like getting up knowing I am choosing to be with that person.
Susan Sarandon
Acting is kind of a forced compassion, where you learn that given certain circumstances, you can feel and do things that you never thought yourself capable of. And so it stops you from being super-judgmental.
Susan Sarandon
To know that once you decide to look at life outside of the narrow limits of just your world and start to understand that you can make a difference in very simple ways - in volunteering and all the way up to bigger world problems.
Susan Sarandon
We have more families at risk with the death penalty. It targets the voiceless, the poor, people of color. And so it's important just to understand what your government is doing and how much they are spending.
Susan Sarandon
In terms of our foreign policy, that's where we made a mistake after 9/11. Everyone's going, Why, why, why, and there wasn't any investigation or learning from any of what we had been doing up to that time that had set us up.
Susan Sarandon
I think looking at your own life, on- and offscreen, you can motivate anything, or you can delude yourself into anything.

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.
Susan Sarandon
I believe in using words, not fists.

To each person, their own way of death - with dignity.

Like most parents in the US, they are trying, with a little help from UNICEF, to do the best they can to help their children reach their full potential.

Knowledge is the key to stopping the spread of AIDS. Yet millions of children are missing an education. Missing their teachers who have died of the disease. Missing from class as they stay home to care for their dying mothers and fathers. Children are missing your support. United for Children. Unite against AIDS.

We were friends with Jonathan Demme. We were all down on the West Side of New York, and I think I met Kurt Vonnegut through Edith Demme. And then I was lucky to do Who Am I This Time? 1982, which was an adaptation of his short story that Jonathan Demme directed with Chris Walken and I, and that really cemented the friendship.
Susan Sarandon
Children reinvent your world for you.
Susan Sarandon
The only thing I can talk about is just forgiving yourself, because I do not have everything together. And so I tell people: No, you should see my house, it's a mess.
Susan Sarandon
My intent is to speak on behalf of those whose voices are less readily heard - children and women at risk

What I like about The Meddler style of movie is that it's a fairly lighthearted romantic comedy, but there are hidden moments where something happens that's unexpected, that hopefully have some kind of emotional resonance that you didn't see coming. I love when a film does that.

We've legalized marijuana recently. Medical marijuana, but the rest will come.
Susan Sarandon
It is a different world than when I was growing up, and you started to just kind of maintain at thirty-five and just hope you can hope it together. People are a lot more vital than I am and doing all kinds of things and leading really important movements.
Susan Sarandon
I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.
