That's the thing about independently minded children. You bring them up teaching them to question authority, and you forget that the very first authority they question is you.

More quotes by Susan Sarandon
At the end of your life, you are going to want to know that you made some kind of difference.
Susan Sarandon
I got married to Chris Sarandon, who was a graduate student, and he knew everything at that point, I thought, because he was older. He introduced me to poetry and black-and-white movies.
Susan Sarandon
I hope they're present in their lives and feel some kind of empathy. I think a lot of the mistakes that have been made in the world have been through a lack of empathy. If you can identify with someone else and empathise with someone else, then activism is a short step away, she explained in an interview with Parade.
Susan Sarandon
My intent is to speak on behalf of those whose voices are less readily heard - children and women at risk
Susan Sarandon
Just because I haven't yet had any project surgery, I'm not going to knock it, because I think women have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies that make them feel good about themselves.
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
I think looking at your own life, on- and offscreen, you can motivate anything, or you can delude yourself into anything.
Susan Sarandon
I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.
Susan Sarandon
If you always have to be watching yourself and judging, I don't think you're as free.
Susan Sarandon
My aunt had given me these rosary beads that were glow-in-the-dark. So all of a sudden I look down and they're glowing, and I'm looking toward the door and thinking, Oh, my God, I don't want anything to come though here. I'm not worthy, I'm not ready. I didn't want to be one of those kids who sees Our Lady of Fatima.
Susan Sarandon
Somebody can be the captain of the ship, which allows you to make big mistakes.
Susan Sarandon
I feel my family's needs are a priority. I'm not comfortable with the idea of serving the many and ignoring my family.
Susan Sarandon
Children reinvent your world for you.
Susan Sarandon
When my children wake up in the morning they know they will eat breakfast, get hugs from their parents, go to a good, safe school. Plates are full and store windows are glittering. But at the same time the great majority of the world's children and women stand - no - shiver on the precipice
Susan Sarandon
I think you have to be ready to switch gears and go with the team as a director, as opposed to superimposing your own strict idea of the story. There are very few directors that can micromanage and still come out with something that's living and breathing on a page. Wes Anderson is one of those.
Susan Sarandon
I don't like to plan. Very often, for me, acting is like loving it's using the muscle that you use in loving, in that your heart feels open. Physically, you feel open. And so therefore your job is to enter, open, and listen. And see what happens.
Susan Sarandon
I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.
Susan Sarandon
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.
Susan Sarandon
It never really worked for me to have long arguments about motivation.
Susan Sarandon
