My agent said, "You aren't good enough for movies." I said, "You're fired."

When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"
<br />

[upon accepting her 1985 Best Actress Oscar] This means so much more to me this time, I don't know why. I think the first time I hardly felt it because it was all too new. But I want to say "Thank you" to you. I haven't had an orthodox career. And I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it. But this time I feel it. And I can't deny the fact that you like me . . . right now . . . you like me. Thank you.

My country is still so repressed. Our idea of what is sexual is blonde hair, long legs, 22 years old. It has nothing to do with humour, intelligence, warmth, everything to do with teeth and cleavage.

Norma Rae (1979) is inspirational because it's the type of film where one person can be heard. |
