“Chronological time for me is rather arbitrary; I tend to see my life in waves of sorrow and ecstatic celebration. It’s fun to see how many different me’s have existed. I tend not to look back, but when you see a film it triggers a lot of memories and feelings, and that’s really a lovely opportunity. I see things that I never noticed when I was too close to them, and I remember people more fondly the more distance there is. And miss people. It’s kind of like a living breathing scrapbook that I never took the time to assemble.”

—Susan Sarandon’s response to the question, “What’s it like watching vintage Susan Sarandon onscreen?” quoted in “The Hot Seat,” Time Out New York, September 23–29, 2010 (thanks, Linda Lee!)
