I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.
I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.
I don't think people will ever forget I was an 'Angel,' anymore than they'll forget Sally Field was 'The Flying Nun. '
Sally Field looks amazing in general, never mind her age! She's a phenomenally talented actress and has had a career spanning so many decades.
To Sally, who showed me the benefits of the sport of golf.
[When Harry Met Sally] was fine, but it was a job. And I did it right after The 'Burbs.
My friend Sally is a nudist. I went to her house. The closets have no doors. The walls are covered with see-through wallpaper.

We need women friends, women who challenge us. I have chosen not to have any more plastic surgery. Sally Field and I have kind of made a pact about that. It's really hard, especially if you're a public person. But I want to give a face to aging.
I call Sally Field 'America's Mother!' She is incredible to watch.
Everybody dies, Sally. The thing is to die well.
Getting cut off from the knights' magic rock also required a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom. (Those of you in the Hushlands, I dare you to work that last sentence into a conversation. "By the way, Sally, did you know that getting cut from the knight's magic rock also requires a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom?")
