You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.

I always believe in living in the country, because that's where what I eat is what I can put back in the dirt.

I am the last of the Mohicans, the creme de la creme of cabaret.

The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.

The children of America are not rebelling for no reason. They are not hippies for no reason at all. We don’t have what we have on Sunset Blvd. for no reason. They are rebelling against something. There are so many things burning the people of this country, particularly mothers. They feel they are going to raise sons—and I know what it's like, and you have children of your own, Mrs. Johnson—we raise children and send them to war.
