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
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
Any time you step forward, someone gets upset.
Susan Sarandon
It never really worked for me to have long arguments about motivation.
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.
Susan Sarandon
Sometimes when you have to go into something, unless you're gifted and can just turn it on and off like a jukebox, you find someplace where there's nothing going on to get yourself into whatever state your character is entering into.

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.
Susan Sarandon
At a time when everything seems so out of control and the people you've elected are bogus and there's so much random violence and hatred, it fills you with such hope and admiration to even be part for a short time in a community where people have connected to strangers to try to put out a hand.
Susan Sarandon
One night I looked down and my rosary beads were glowing. And I realized that I did not want to see the blessed Virgin - I was terrified.
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
It helps me chill out and focus.
Susan Sarandon
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 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 think it's very hard to be naked in a scene and not be upstaged by your nipples.
Susan Sarandon
It's a miracle when something actually turns out well because there are so many ways for it to go wrong.
Susan Sarandon
On parochial school I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
Susan Sarandon
Never root for a team whose uniforms have elastic stretch waistbands.
Susan Sarandon
He has a very strong vision of what he wants.

How will the bombing of Baghdad, a city of five million, accomplish a regime change?
