- [accepting her Oscar for Julia (1977)] My dear colleagues, I thank you very, very much for this tribute to my work. I think that Jane Fonda and I have done the best work of our lives, and I salute you and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should be very proud that in the last few weeks you have stood firm and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums [interrupted by boos] whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world and to their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression. And I pledge to you that I will continue to fight against anti-Semitism and fascism. Thank you.
- I choose all my roles very carefully so that when my career is finished I will have covered all our recent history of oppression.
- I've opened my mouth on a lot of subjects. And I thought the more prestige you get, I'd have the power to do what I like. It's not true.
- I don't think I ever felt beautiful until I was pregnant and when I gave birth to my children. I had terrible acne when I was a teenager and I was very tall, so tall I couldn't see myself in my mother's long mirror.
- I don't consider myself beautiful at all, I'm usually running around like a scruff.
- Of course, I am misrepresented very often, but so is everybody who has got something to say.
- I would have liked to have more children. I had always wanted five children when I was younger. That was my dream, I wanted five and I don't think I would have been bothered if it had turned out to be six. In the end, I had four, but I lost one of them, the fourth one. I had a miscarriage.
- Anybody can lose their job and have nothing. And people mind having nothing.
- Ask the right questions if you're to find the right answers
- How can we help the people in the audience--and ourselves--remove the cobwebs that prevents us all from being able to reach and touch things?
- Analyzing the problem is vital. It's the only way you're going to arrive at the right thing to do.
- A theater is being given over to market forces, which means that a whole generation that should be able to do theater as well as see it is being completely deprived.
- I have a tremendous use for passionate statement.
- It's a kinky part of my nature -- to meddle.
- I give myself to my parts as to a lover.
- America is gangsterism for the private profit of the few.
