Sally Field

Sally: If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no goddamn wars in the first place!

Sally Field: (about today's young stars) I can't even imagine the pressure these young people are under. I thought it was rough juggling a high-profile career with raising a family, but now you look at someone like Britney Spears and think, "Wow, we had it easy." When I started out, there were a few fan magazines, but there was no Entertainment Tonight, and certainly not the 24-hour media force that the Internet has become. Entire industries have been created to make money on Britney Spears, and that's grisly. I can't imagine what it's like for her children to be caught up in that gossip.

Sally Field: Whoever the next President of our country is, man or woman, it needs to be a mother. I don't think mothers are only female. I think mothering is a quality, a character trait. Mothering is about responsibility. There are plenty of men who are great, great mothers. People who care more about their children and their children's children than about getting money in their pocket are great mothers. That's how you protect your people. That's how you move into the future.
