If men only knew what`s appealing to a woman is how a man makes her feel about herself. Jim is funny and dear and he laughs at my jokes. That`s what makes Jim sexy; it doesn`t change with years.

Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. "Oh, I'm just a mom," you hear women say. Just a mom??? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, and it's our hope for the future.

~ Sally Field Quote
I can't even imagine the pressure these young people are under. I thought it was rough juggling a high-profile career with raising a family, but now you look at someone like Britney Spears and think, "Wow, we had it easy." When I started out, there were a few fan magazines, but there was no Entertainment Tonight, and certainly not the 24-hour media force that the Internet has become. Entire industries have been created to make money on Britney Spears, and that's grisly. I can't imagine what it's like for her children to be caught up in that gossip.
~ Sally Field Quote

I've never been an actor who goes and really gets off on being nuts and never gets out of it. There would be times when I would be crying for hours and hours and hours, but mostly they were in and out of the picture. There were times to go hide and times to come out and play.
~ Sally Field Quote
I think that`s very sad, that I haven`t allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
~ Sally Field Quote
I`ve allowed myself to be so busy with my grandchildren, my sons, and my family, and work, that I really don`t know where I would fit anyone in.
~ Sally Field Quote
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I`m an actor, that`s all. I just do what I do.
~ Sally Field Quote
I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
~ Sally Field Quote

~ Sally Field Quote
Goldie does something that none of the other actresses can do. She has a whimsy and a comedic ability that no one else has. We can all imitate her, but we can`t get near it. I don`t think that Goldie has yet branched out as muc...
~ Sally Field Quote
I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren`t taking it as seriously as I did.
~ Sally Field Quote
The big issue in Gidget was my bellybutton. I could never show it. All the other girls bounced around in skimpy bikinis. Gidget's bathing suit always had to cover her bellybutton. Gidget was only half a person-- all fantasy and no kissing. It was a reflection of the destructive morality of the 50s and 60s, which is when I was brought up. Everybody thought that men were out to get you-- especially if you showed your bellybutton. And men, in turn, thought they had to get you. When young people get married thinking like that --and so many did-- it has to mean trouble.
~ Sally Field Quote
There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.
~ Sally Field Quote
You lose your habitual behavior, which allowed you to sort of zone out. You have to be here, you have to be now, you have to be present.
~ Sally Field Quote
If I hadn`t fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
~ Sally Field Quote
I've allowed myself to be so busy with my grandchildren, my sons, and my family, and work, that I really don't know where I would fit anyone in.

~ Sally Field Quote
Goldie is like a neon light and I am not.
~ Sally Field Quote
I loved what they wanted to do: they wanted to look at this big American family with a very strong father figure, a real patriarchal family, but that over time became a matriarchal family, where the women were the strong voices.
~ Sally Field Quote
This means so much more to me this time, I don't know why. I think the first time I hardly felt it because it was all too new. But I want to say 'thank you' to you. I haven't had an orthodox career. And I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it. But this time I feel it. And I can't deny the fact that you like me... right now... you like me. Thank you.
~ Sally Field Quote
Forrest Gump (1994) is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.
~ Sally Field Quote
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That`s like fighting with ghosts.
~ Sally Field Quote
I came from a real working-class show business family.
~ Sally Field Quote
You know, the truth of the matter is, we have so much little time off. I feel like: "Please God, don't let anything come my way!" We worked last year 10 months straight... I think television right now is exploring more relationships and people things than film is. I don't really have a desire to stand there and not be acting.
~ Sally Field Quote
When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said `Congratulations, you have an actor`!
