father cry easy
Emotionality is really easy for me. My father always said that Fondas can cry at a good steak.
goodbye father fighting
I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.
father years realizing
How would you like to have a father who keeps getting younger looking every year? Do you realize what that can do to a woman?
real father thinking
Lee Strasberg told me I had talent. Real talent. It was the first time that anyone, except my father--who had to say so--told me I was good. At anything. It was a turning point in my life. I went to bed thinking about acting. I woke up thinking about acting. It was like the roof had come off my life!
father taught raised
I was raised in the '50s. I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered.
father character wrath
My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath,' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.
love
I love mistakes because it's the only way you learn.
I knew that I had to write my memoirs.
perfect supporting
I like being a supporting actress. I don't have to show up everyday. I was still writing the book, so it was the perfect thing. It may never be so perfect again,
life people trying
I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.
majority school
We need to get a majority on the school board,
available lead needed
Contraception is important. Making contraception available doesn't lead to promiscuity. But much more is needed than just contraception.
along came chance character funny gave outrageous quite script
The script came along and it was funny and it gave me the chance to play an outrageous character and I've never done anything before quite like her,
age lots people physically throw towel
The most important thing to do as you age is to stay physically active. Lots of people just throw in the towel if they can't do what they used to do, and that's terrible.
