Daily Inspiration Quote by Kathleen Turner

Turner is doing two things at once: staking a claim and admitting a bruise. Calling Crimes of Passion "one of the best films I've done" is a deliberate act of self-curation, a refusal to let box office numbers or studio mythology be the final editor of her career. Then comes the kicker - "even though it didn't do well" - a line that carries the weary knowledge of how Hollywood tallies worth. It's not just a footnote; it's an indictment of the industry math that treats commercial performance as artistic verdict.

The phrasing "will live strongly in my resume" is unusually muscular for something as bureaucratic as a resume. She turns a document of employment into a battleground for legacy. "Live" implies afterlife, endurance; "strongly" suggests she expects the film to be contested, maybe even misunderstood, and she's planting a flag anyway. That choice makes the quote feel less like vanity than strategy: Turner asserting that careers aren't simply a highlight reel of hits but a record of risks.

Context matters. Turner came up in an era when actresses were routinely boxed into a narrow range of marketable roles; embracing a provocative, less easily packaged film (and refusing to apologize for its financial fate) reads like an insistence on agency. The subtext is a quiet warning to the gatekeepers: you can keep your receipts. I'll keep my work.
