Susan Sarandon's quotes

I choose projects I can talk about for days because now you do publicity for as long as it took you to shoot the movie.
I feel I've always been on the outside and always on the edge of an abyss. The women I portray, and the woman I am, are ordinary but maybe find themselves in extra-ordinary circumstances, and what they do is at great cost.
Sexuality... is something that develops and becomes stronger and stronger the older you get... If you can continue to say yes to life and to maintain a certain generosity of spirit, you become more and more of who you are.
I think the only reason I remain an actor is that you can never quite get it right. So there is a challenge to it.
If I were 22 and trying to build a career, I don't know who'd be watching the kids as happily as I do. It takes so much to get me to break out of domestic paradise. There's hardly anything that interests me as much as my family.
People will like you for the wrong reasons your entire life, even if you don't have parents who are celebrities. They will like you because you have a car or you have money or your breasts are big.
You're so lucky in Ireland, England and Spain. Everyone there already knows what it's like to have inexplicable terrorist violence.
The thing that's bad about breasts is that you have to choose between having a mind and having breasts. It'd be nice if you could have both. Anyway, I think my breasts have been highly overrated.
The largest party in the United States is the 50 percent who don't vote.
It's always so painful to watch yourself. That never changes. I still sit there and think, "Oh, that scene is missing? Wasn't I good? What happened there?"
I'm certainly not an expert, but Tim and I just celebrated 17 years together, which in Hollywood years I think is 45. I think the key is just focusing on this one person and not keeping one eye on the door to see who might be better.
I never think about humiliating myself. I keep focusing on wanting to do a good job.
I think one of the reasons I haven't married Tim is that I hate that couples assumption - that once you're committed to someone you stop treating each other as individuals. I like getting up knowing I am choosing to be with that person.
I've always had my mouth open. Whether people listen to me or not, I don't know. But I've always made suggestions.
Every film is political in that it tells you some idea: What do women want? What does it mean to be a man? What is just? What is funny? What can you laugh at? What is not funny? So we notice the ones that challenge the status quo.
Every traumatic thing I've ever been through, personal, professional, whatever, has always, down the line, paid off somehow. I consider myself lucky.
The difference between theatre and film is kind of like the difference between making love and masturbation.
You have to be careful not to be upstaged by your breasts. I've gotten curvier as I've gotten older. Directors cast the men they want to be and the women they want to have.
I think I've survived because I've gone through a number of incarnations. Sometimes they need somebody sexy. Sometimes they need somebody smart. I've managed to be able to morph myself into parts.
People probably think of me as Debbie Downer. I have become kind of a joke in terms of activism for some people. But it is like worrying if your slip is showing when you're fleeing a burning building. You have to prioritize.
I thought the whole point of feminism is that you're not supposed to be defined by gender. I don't understand the reasoning behind that, because I wouldn't vote for Condoleezza Rice, and I hated Margaret Thatcher.
Despite the statistics, nothing is hopeless, nothing is futile. We can do so much to protect children with awareness, knowledge, and a lot of love.
[on mothering] Children can reinvent your world for you.
I believe in love and trust and commitment, but not in marriage. Marriage may do something for lawyers and mothers, but not for husbands and wives. I deal with reality, with the feelings I have at the moment. And then I go on from there.
[on Brad Pitt and Geena Davis in Thelma & Louise (1991)] The day they did their scenes in bed was the only day they watched the dailies right through, which was suspicious to me. [It] was a very long lunch.
[on the death of James Gandolfini] So sad to lose James Gandolfini. One of the sweetest, funniest, most generous actors I've ever worked with. Sending prayers to his family.
[in 1993 on Richard Gere] Richard has been in a lot of good films, but he's never been in a great one.
Men very often can see sex as a way of solving a problem, where women want the problem solved beforehand.
I couldn't live in Hollywood; it's too much of a company town. I never look at the trade papers. I used to, but I was scandalized by reading about actors who made deals before they read the script. How could they possibly do that?
When things are going well, I like to have people to share it with. I've been alone in troubled times, and I don't mind that. Some things have to be endured alone. As Hemingway said, the human being is strong in all the broken places.
[on her split from Tim Robbins] People were coming up to me in the street and saying "I cried and cried when I heard." Well, I was sadder! I didn't think it would ever happen, either.
I am very romantic. For a women of my age and station, I have not been around very much at all. I've never developed that sportive kind of attitude toward sex. Thank God, as it turns out.
Nowadays, I think I look lived-in. When I was younger, I looked blank. Just blank, interchangeable with other people. Now I don't think there's anybody who looks like me.
I see myself as having a little flashlight that lets you get information that you're not getting, and then you make up your mind yourself how to act.
I'm such a victim of inertia. I need a structure that puts me in a microcosm of some kind.
I don't vote with my vagina!
You develop a reputation based on your personality, not your politics.
I'm definitely not hard to work with, unless I'm working with stupid people.
[in 1989, regarding her outspokenness] Once you've gone on record, it does eliminate certain things from your life. I don't think I'd ever be asked to work with Sylvester Stallone.
[2011] I invented the word cougar. I started that about 30 years ago!
[to David Letterman in June 1988] You're just a pushover, aren't you! It's kinda cute.
If I go to a bar I get bored, so sometimes I smoke.
I think sometimes what happens is that all of this feeling out of control manifests itself in trying to control your body; whether it's an eating disorder or talking about getting your nose fixed, as if that's going to be the solution to all the pressure.
[January 2003 quote that landed her in hot water] Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us?
When I tell people I'm a comedian they say, 'Oh, are you funny?' I say, 'No, it's not that kind of comedy.'
I'm tired of being labeled anti-American because I ask questions.
[on Woody Allen, Cannes Film Festival, May 2016] I think he sexually assaulted a child and I don't think that's right. I have nothing good to say about him. I don't want to go there.
Alec Baldwin is fucking brilliant. He should run for office.
The first modeling job I got was a selling folder for the Watergate building. Boy, that's a collector's item now.
I was denied security clearance to go to the White House, and I don't know why.
[on Hillary Clinton] I want someone who's authentic. And she gave that away. That was a disappointment.
When I was in grade school I wanted to become a saint. Not a nun. A saint.
It's interesting that these guys who were in power don't find their voice til they're out of office. Al Gore has turned into a really interesting guy, but where was he before?
[on detractors] When they show up at a ski resort and you're nursing a baby and someone calls you a commie cÂµnt and you don't expect it in the middle of the afternoon, it's quite shocking.
I'm not interested in "I'm saying no but I really mean yes" kind of sex scenes.
Since I'm basically lazy, I try for parts that frighten me or seem impossible. So to survive, I will have to learn something and overcome it.
Well, as an actor, I could take my clothes off and bare my breasts if it worked.
There's an unwritten law: you don't rat on your other fellow actors, even if they are unprofessional.
I'm just a really rotten liar, so if someone has the misfortune of asking me a question, then I'm afraid they have to be ready to take the answer.
I don't think I've ever employed a nanny that didn't run on Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.
