We miss a lot in life because we don't know when to quit, what to leave out.

When I act I try to express the suffering or joy I've known during my lifetime.

If I wanted pity, I got it because I'm illegitimate. And when I didn't want it I was mean and nasty.

New York is only 97 miles from Philadelphia but was the Big Time as no other American city has ever been.

I wanted to be with the kind of people I'd grown up with, but you can't go back to them and be one of them again, no matter how hard you try.

All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic.

I learned early in life not to judge others. We outcasts are very happy and content to leave that job to our social superiors.
