I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.

I always look well when I'm near death.

I cannot see myself as a wife. Ugly word.

Why should you care for a woman like me? I'm always nervous or sick, or sad or too gay.

Love is a romantic designation for a most ordinary biological process-or, shall we say, chemical-process ... a lot of nonsense is talked and written about it.

When one has not long to live, why shouldn't one have fancies?

I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live.
