The roles… the deep roles that I’ve gotten to play have turned my course. They’ve changed my life experience. – Sally Field
Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I was over 50, Caucasian, thin, small-framed, and I have it in my genetic history. It was almost a slam-dunk. – Sally Field
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That’s like fighting with ghosts. – Sally Field
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
I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work. – Sally Field
I’d been kind of a hiccup in my parents’ lives. They lost track of me and I didn’t know what I was going to do with myself. And then fate reached in and took me in its hands. I was discovered right out of high school and started getting work. – Sally Field
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing. – Sally Field
My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me. – Sally Field
But I was losing so much bone density that I would have been in grave danger. And I mean grave danger. If I had let it go just a few more years I could have broken my hip or spine just picking up my granddaughter. – Sally Field
I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work – getting to do the work. And I don’t really care where it is: whether it’s on stage or on television or in film. – Sally Field
I don’t want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven’t played than I care if my neck looks like someone’s bedroom curtains. – Sally Field
There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don’t have anything to do with my nose. – Sally Field
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! – Sally Field
I think that’s very sad, that I haven’t allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few. – Sally Field
