Nature is my church. The wind in the trees and the bugs and the frogs. All those things are comfort to me.
You know, I don't know what the future will bring, but I'm ready for whatever comes!
I don't have any regrets, because I think life is like a creek. It kind of meanders along, and you instinctively do the things you are meant to do. There's no great plan except doing really good scripts, meeting great filmmakers. And I have to have something that I can bring to the role.
Our perception of celebrities in Hollywood is not the reality. The reality of our lives is so much like everyone else's life. We have family members we love, everyone gets up in the morning, they have three meals a day and they go about their business.
I studied homeopathy for years and years. Herbs and all kinds of acupuncture, acupressure, alternative medicine. I think it's just better to treat the whole person.
For me, life is a bowl of cherries.
My biggest thrill in life is to read in the afternoon until I fall asleep and take a nap.
I am a woman of simple tastes.
Everybody who loves me calls me Sissy, so I guess that's just who I am. When I'm 80, they'll still be calling me Sissy. Oh, well, I guess there are worse things.
I think my mother's family came on the Mayflower from England - D.A.R., you know.
For me, I never really wanted to be in a 'Sissy Spacek' vehicle. That was not my intention. I got to be the 'Everygirl.'
Fame sweeps you away. I had to go home every six months to remember who I am.
I actually never got in a play in school. My teacher said I never learned my lines.
I hated country music growing up, but it gets in your bone marrow, kind of like a disease.
I'm not Meryl Streep. My God - she's the greatest actor that ever lived. It's sad that ordinary actors like me are compared to her.
I've not had a mean life.
I don't like to do something just to prove I can do it.
It's difficult to just let go of a character. Especially after you've been preparing and researching for weeks.
I feel like if I don't get a film and somebody else does, then that film never belonged to me. The ones I get belong to me.
With my coloring, I'm nothing in black and white. I've seen my films sometimes on black-and-white TV. Disaster.
