I never loved a man as far as I could pitch my shoe.

I was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.

You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.

During times like these, the wise are influential.

I couldn't see passion as a bad thing.

My individual, psychological descent coincided, ironically, with my ascent into the public eye.

I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.
