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.

More quotes by 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.
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
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.

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.
Susan Sarandon
I'll always rather be in a ship that's got a captain that has some vision.

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 gets to be 2 a.m., and they hand you a bottle of whipped cream and some syrup and things start getting silly.

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.
Susan Sarandon
On parochial school I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
Susan Sarandon
I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.
Susan Sarandon
Never root for a team whose uniforms have elastic stretch waistbands.
Susan Sarandon
I think it's very hard to be naked in a scene and not be upstaged by your nipples.
Susan Sarandon
At the end of your life, you are going to want to know that you made some kind of difference.

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
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 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
I think looking at your own life, on- and offscreen, you can motivate anything, or you can delude yourself into anything.

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.
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.

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