More quotes by Susan Sarandon
My intent is to speak on behalf of those whose voices are less readily heard - children and women at risk

I feel it's easier to sit in the backseat and go, Oh, yeah, let's go there. You're not worried about getting to the destination.

On parochial school I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
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.

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
I believe in using words, not fists.
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 always had a problem with original sin I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.
Susan Sarandon
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.
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
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
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
Somebody can be the captain of the ship, which allows you to make big mistakes.
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.
Susan Sarandon
It's ridiculous that we continue to incarcerate anyone for using a substance that actually causes far less damage than alcohol. No one goes out looking for fights on marijuana. No one dies from marijuana intoxication. And no one should be jailed for possessing marijuana.
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.
