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

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
Sally Field

I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

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

I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
Sally Field

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.
Sally Field

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

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

I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
Sally Field

I've never had my heart broken.
Sally Field

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
Sally Field

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field

Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.'

Tim Curry




One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.
Tim Curry

But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?
Tim Curry

Don't dream it, be it.

Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

Ali MacGraw

I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
Ali MacGraw

I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.
Ali MacGraw

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
Ali MacGraw

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
Ali MacGraw

Ali MacGraw

It's not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it's how I want to be in 15 years.

Woody Allen




As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Woody Allen

Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.
Woody Allen

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.
Woody Allen

Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
Woody Allen

Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
Woody Allen

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Woody Allen

Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.
Woody Allen

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.

I don't have to 'freedom-kiss' my wife when what I really want to do is French-kiss her.

I don't think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.

Sylvester Stallone




I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.
Sylvester Stallone

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
Sylvester Stallone

I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
Sylvester Stallone

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
Sylvester Stallone

I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I've had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn't been dull; I've been the Hiroshima of love.
Sylvester Stallone

I love being verbal in films.
Sylvester Stallone

I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone

I respect a woman too much to marry her.
Sylvester Stallone

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
Sylvester Stallone

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Sylvester Stallone

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.
Sylvester Stallone

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.
Sylvester Stallone

I think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.
Sylvester Stallone

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
Sylvester Stallone

I'm a patriot of the heart.
Sylvester Stallone

I'm more focused and have a greater sense of challenge, because I constantly feel the weight of time.
Sylvester Stallone

I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man.
Sylvester Stallone

I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.
Sylvester Stallone

If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there'd be bodies hanging from every tree!
Sylvester Stallone

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
Sylvester Stallone
