Jane Fonda

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.

I'm a very brave person. I can go to North Vietnam, I can challenge my government, but I can't challenge the man I'm with if means I'm going to end up alone.

The reality is sobering: in the United States one in three girls will become pregnant before age 20, totaling more than 750, 000 girls per year.

We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2, 000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.

We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.

It's hard for women at my age in Hollywood, but I'm not discouraged.
