A woman can plan when to have her family and how to support a family.

A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.
Kathleen Turner

As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished.

At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers.

Being a sex symbol has to do with an attitude, not looks. Most men think it's looks, most women know otherwise.

Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well.
Kathleen Turner

Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't.
Kathleen Turner

I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.

I am certainly a liberal.
Kathleen Turner

I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.

I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs.

I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.

I had a great deal of pressure to move to LA after Romancing the Stone came out and I'd become very popular. But people came to me anyway.

I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world; one quarter are born knowing that they will affect the world.
Kathleen Turner

I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate.
Kathleen Turner

I have no desire to play most of the roles being offered.
Kathleen Turner

I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there is a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.
Kathleen Turner

I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up.
Kathleen Turner

I never took to Hollywood.
