“You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.”

I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing.

I love to do the things the censors won’t pass.

Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.

Assimilation is much more joyful than conformity,

People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn’t see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one.

I’ve given myself away, the whole of me, every part.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

In spite of everything life is not without hope.

Who said nights were for sleep?

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.

I’ve been on a calendar, but never on time.

A smart girl leaves before she is left

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.

Believe in the holy contour of life.

I believe that when I am dead, I am dead. I believe that with my death I am just as much obliterated as the last mosquito you and I squashed.

If you believe in it, and you believe in it hard, it is impossible to fail.

Visions of McDonald’s restaurants dotting crossroads all over the country paraded through my brain. I don’t believe in saturation. We’re thinking and talking worldwide.

People often ask me whether I believe in God. I haven’t seen God. But I think that one’s beliefs are one’s God – and, in those terms, yes, God is there.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

But in that backroom or whatever it is when God confronts me with my sins, I do not believe any of the kills I had during the war will be among them. Everyone I shot was evil. I had good cause on every shot. They all deserved to die.
