Jane Fonda's quotes

Working in Hollywood does give one a certain expertise in the field of prostitution.
I was terrified when I turned 30. I was pregnant and had the mumps and Faye Dunaway was just coming out in Bonnie and Clyde (1967). I thought, 'Oh my God, I'll never work again. I'm old!'
"Acting with Laurence Harvey is like acting by yourself - only worse." - Jane Fonda on her 1962 film Walk on the Wild Side (1962)
It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanised such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless. [expressing regret at her support for the Viet Cong]
I, a Socialist, think we should strive toward a Socialist society, all the way to Communism.
If you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that one day we would become Communist. (speaking to students at the University of Michigan in 1970)
People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it's not easy at all; we're used to hiding behind masks.
[accepting her father's Oscar for On Golden Pond (1981)] I'll bet when he heard it just now, he said 'Hey ain't I lucky?' As if luck had anything to do with it.
[on the infamous photo of her posing with a Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun] The biggest lapse of judgment in my life. I don't regret going to North Vietnam. I'm glad I went. I'm glad I did everything I did, except that.
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
When I start down a path that I know is the right path, I go with all of me.
I'm a very brave person. I can go to North Vietnam, I can challenge my government, but I can't challenge the man I'm with if means I'm going to end up alone.
It's hard to imagine a happy ending to the US-led war in Iraq. What's it going to mean for stability as a nation, for terrorism, for the economy I can't imagine. I think the entire world is going to be united against us.
Ted Turner needs someone to be there 100 percent of the time. He thinks that's love. It's not love. It's babysitting.
I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country. But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage.
When I left the West Coast I was a liberal. When I landed in New York I was a revolutionary.
[Monster-in-Law (2005)] was the single smartest move I ever made
It's always great to rehearse on a plane because people think you're mad.
Emotionality is really easy for me. My father always said that Fondas can cry at a good steak.
[6/08, on dating] I want someone who is not only a great lover but who is also an old soul. Older men seem to think they are riding the crest when they decide to cash in and take it easy once they have hooked up with me, which becomes a burden and a bore.
[on her book 'Prime Time'] I actually never lead. There's always something more first, and then I'm the cheerleader. There are many, many books about aging. Mine just covers everything that I wanted to know.
I try to live my third act in such a way that I won't have regrets. You never get there entirely, but you can spend your life working at it.
I took Klute (1971) because, in it, I expose a great deal of the oppression of women in this country - the system which makes women sell themselves for possessions.
Aging is not what we used to think it was, where you peak at middle age. It's ascending a staircase into growth, wisdom, well-being and happiness.
I have used acupuncture many times in the past - to reduce fever, heal broken bones, relieve pain... it really works if the doctor is skilled. I have felt I needed to have my energy system balanced.
It's never too late - never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
[about David R. Slavitt's bestselling novel "The Exhibitionist"] I don't read trash. Is that that book that everyone says is about me?
I feel like my honesty gives people the freedom to talk about things they wouldn't otherwise.
Roger Vadim and I were too different to last. I don't mean nationality, I mean attitude. I think opposites only attract for a brief, intense period.
As an actor you spend all your life trying to do something they put people in asylums for.
To overcome bulimia, I had to teach myself to eat all over again, like a child.
[after having her breast implants removed] My kids are so relieved. They tell me I look normal again.
I find that arduous physical labor can jump-start my thought process.
I'm vain about loose flesh. And so I'm careful that what I wear will show off my best parts.
I'll smoke pot every now and then. I cannot see a movie on pot. The number of movies I've seen thinking, This is probably the best I have ever seen, and then I'll see it again sober and think, What was I thinking?
When I was young I never thought I was going to make it past thirty. I thought I was going to die of alcoholism and loneliness and you know that hasn't been the case... Don't give up no matter how hard it is. Try to make the best of who you are.
I grew up with a deep belief that wherever our troops fought, they were on the side of the angels.
The only time I ever saw Dad cry was when Roosevelt died.
I think marriage is going to go out, become obsolete. I don't think it's natural for two people to swear to be together for the rest of their lives. [1961]
I never was a hippie! I went to India because so many friends like Mia Farrow and The Beatles were going there to discover truth. And so I went and trekked through India by myself, but instead of discovering truth, I wanted to join the Peace Corps.
[AFI Life Achievement Award: AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Jane Fonda (2014) speech excerpt] Stay curious! It's much more important to be interested than to be interesting. I leave you with that.
Too few people can succeed as an actress or an actor. It's a very unhappy business if you've been bitten by the bug and you can't make it.
As long as someone can make a buck off me, they're gonna do it. And as long as I can go into Hollywood and make a movie and make a lot of money which I can use to support the struggles I'm involved with, I will.
[Real Time with Bill Maher (2003), January 2017] If penises could do what pussies could do they'd be on postage stamps!
It's easy to say that awards are silly, but they're very good reassurance for the ego.
I love working in French. I feel a certain kind of freedom. The way you feel when you learn to speak a foreign language and find you can say things you wouldn't dare say in English.
Some people don't like me very much and some people like me a whole lot, and there's almost nobody who's undecided.
I think it's important to live life with intention, because otherwise you're just sort of at the mercy of fate.
[from her blog post "Giving Thanks"] I wake up every morning feeling grateful that I live here and not in Syria.
If I had a dream day it would be spent hiking in Will Rogers [Historic State Park] and I would come back and work out and then I would read all day long.
It doesn't matter how anybody describes me, all that matters is what I do.
There's no question On Golden Pond (1981) helped sell my Workout program because people saw me in a bathing suit. So what?
A man is not sexy to me unless I feel he can take me to a place that I've never been.
If Trump hadn't been elected, I could have been gardening. I'm going to spend my 80s at the barricades again. It's not what I expected.
[on the ever persistent controversy of her trip to Hanoi] I'm a lightning rod. I am Henry Fonda's daughter and a woman, so I understand I'm an easy target. It's easier to hate me than to hate the people responsible for sending those men over there.
I think masturbation is really important. Use it or lose it - you know?
[on climate change] I can no longer stand by and let our elected officials ignore - and even worse - empower - the industries that are destroying our planet for profit. We can not continue to stand for this. [2019]
I just think COVID is God's gift to the left.
