“My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.”

I believe in free love and that’s just how I feel.

People have offered me opportunities in exchange for sleeping with them. But it’s not 1952 anymore.

When you get real big baby, remember that little old cowgirl. Waiting for you back in that red river valley.

I pretend I’m not hurt, I walk about the world like I’m having fun.

Oh honey don’t we all wanna feel new.

Far less envy in America than in France.

Sit with a feeling don’t share it.
