Ted needs someone to be there 100% of the time. He thinks that's love. It's not love - it's babysitting.
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.
I always had a penchant for falling in love. Every time I found myself without a mate, I fell into a state of low-sizzling panic.
All my life I had believed that unless I was perfect I would not be loved.
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.
It's about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics. As a country, we benefit from investing in their future by investing in teen pregnancy prevention.
Parents are supposed to give the child back to herself with love. If they've got duct tape over their eyes because of narcissism, it doesn't happen.
I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.
While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.
Emotionality is really easy for me. My father always said that Fondas can cry at a good steak.
I think the Internet and technology in general has changed everything. We can see it overseas even more with the Arab Spring and so forth.
The only thing I have never known is true intimacy with a man. I absolutely wanted to discover that before dying.
I see many more men who are feminist, or at least who have learned about life in the context of feminism.
Some people are surprised that the Republicans are waging a war on women, or that they voted against equal pay for women. I'm not surprised at all. In some ways, it may be a good thing. They're defending the patriarchy, which is a wounded beast! And wounded beasts are always dangerous.
I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.
Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.
People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it's not easy at all; we're used to hiding behind masks.
I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them - active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular - to try and end the war.
My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won't complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.
I am able to talk about my life in a way that helps other women - and men, but mostly women - understand their own life. I feel real proud of that. And then the fact that my children are okay. You know, you're only as happy as your least happy child. So if your kids aren't okay, you're not good.
