That's one of my little expressions. I never really studied acting so I kind of kiddingly talk about building your circle and mooding up, because I really didn't learn any technique.

There wasn't space to mood-up. I think Rose Byrne was just extraordinary. Talk about a character that could be really unsympathetic at times. She just jumped in these scenes that go from anger to hysteria to crying to laughing and back to anger. I just marveled.

At the end of your life, you are going to want to know that you made some kind of difference.
Susan Sarandon
It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.
Susan Sarandon
I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.
Susan Sarandon
Really, for me, it's important to know who's pitching and who's catching - just what that scene is supposed to accomplish in terms of storytelling. That being said, on the day, basically what you're trying to get yourself into an open place. And if the character is in a state of anxiety or vulnerability, you try to find some touchstone.

If you can just see all the children of the world as your own, all the mothers of the world as you are, we can make a huge difference.
Susan Sarandon
I always think that the difference between film and theater is like the difference between masturbation and making love. Because, in film, you just have to get one moment right you're practically by yourself. And in theater, you actually have to have a relationship with the audience.

New York is very user-friendly if you don't want to be in a car all the time. It can also provide you with surprises because it's so compressed - if you walk around, you just find things.

What is fabulous about gay marriage is that it redefines the gender designated jobs, then you throw in transgender and you don't just have the five primary colors of the crayons. We have to really look at what it means to be a man or a woman in a much more generous and creative way.

I've just come back from Vegas, and I was in on the caucus process. It's insane. What a mess. And also with these particular candidates who are running, so many times I said, I just wish Kurt Vonnegut were alive. This is like something he would be writing. This is just crazy stuff. I would love to hear his take on it.
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
It's really hard to find stuff that is original. You pick up scripts and in four pages you know where it's going and the same thing when you are sitting in a theatre, I just rejoice when something unfolds in a way that I'm not conducive.
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.

Somebody can be the captain of the ship, which allows you to make big mistakes.
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
It helps me chill out and focus.

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.

With the help of folks like you and me, Heifer International tackles the problem of hunger one family at a time with gifts of renewable resources - farm animals that are ongoing sources of food and income.
Susan Sarandon
So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality.

By the time I went to the Catholic University of America, which was the time the priests were all leaving with the nuns, the more I studied about the Bible and how it came about, the more I lost my faith.
