I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.

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.

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.

Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.
Jane Fonda -
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.
Jane Fonda -
You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.

I was a chameleon, the woman men wanted me to be.

Think about it: Reducing crime and poverty and ensuring that we have an educated, stable work force has a direct effect on you and me and the future of our country.

My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath,' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.
Jane Fonda -
I'm vain. My arms are thin, but I'm vain about loose flesh. And so I'm careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt.

As I started getting older, I realized, 'I'm so happy!' I didn't expect this! I wasn't happy when I was young.

I grew up with a deep belief that wherever our troops fought, they were on the side of the angels.

I knew that I had to write my memoirs.
Jane Fonda -
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.
Jane Fonda -
I feel like when I was an adolescent, and felt so unworthy of love and so empty, I moved outside of myself.
Jane Fonda -
I don't want to make a cheap analysis, but when you have, like I did, a father incapable of showing emotion, who spends his life telling you that no one will love you if you aren't perfect, it leaves scars.
Jane Fonda -
How would you like to have a father who keeps getting younger looking every year? Do you realize what that can do to a woman?
Jane Fonda -
Instead of drifting along like a leaf in a river, understand who you are and how you come across to people and what kind of an impact you have on the people around you and the community around you and the world, so that when you go out, you can feel you have made a positive difference.

If you're ever in a situation where you're not getting served or you can't get what you need, just cry.
Jane Fonda -
In this country the only way a minority can get anything done is to make a little noise.
Jane Fonda -
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.
Jane Fonda -
Real love and intimacy can be much more possible when you're older.
