More quotes by 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
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
I think it's very hard to be naked in a scene and not be upstaged by your nipples.

Any time you step forward, someone gets upset.

If you always have to be watching yourself and judging, I don't think you're as free.

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.

Somebody can be the captain of the ship, which allows you to make big mistakes.

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.

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.

It's a very exciting time in the history of this country, to even see people responding to a different way of doing business and really wanting to make a change.
Susan Sarandon
I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.
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
In terms of our foreign policy, that's where we made a mistake after 9/11. Everyone's going, Why, why, why, and there wasn't any investigation or learning from any of what we had been doing up to that time that had set us up.
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
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.

To become a lapsed Catholic, first go to a Catholic university.

As a mother trying to raise kids with some kind of a code, an honorable way to solve problems without using violence, I find it interesting to live in a country where your government is allowed to kill, whether it's war or execution. What interests me is not who deserves to die but who deserves to kill.
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 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.
