Quotes

• “If a person is treated like a patient, they are apt to act like one.”
• “I didn't think then, and I still don't, that I was actually sick.”
• “There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality becomes a dream.”
• “It was pretty sad, because for the first time I found how stupid people could be. It sort of made me feel alone in the world. The more people pointed at me in scorn the more stubborn I got and when they began calling me the Bad Girl of West Seattle High, I tried to live up to it.”
• “I do not know Tyrone Power. I fucked him a lot, but I do not know him. Gentlemen, this meeting is over.”
• “I went to Sunday School and liked the stories about Christ and the Christmas star. They were beautiful. They made you warm and happy to think about. But I didn't believe them. The Sunday School teacher talked too much in the way our grade school teacher used to when she told us about George Washington. Pleasant, pretty stories, but not true.”
