So many people have really wanted to die. They seem ashamed to say so. I think it would help if they would say so

I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy.

I've always had bronchitis. I've been administered the Sacrament of Death three times for it

I can choose to accelerate my disease to an alcoholic death or incurable insanity, or I can choose to live within my thoroughly human condition.

I can only know what love is insofar as I can feel it.

Like many alcoholics, I was a staggering woman in a chic apartment, sick and utterly disgusting.

I find it next to impossible to remain politely silent when people prate to me about the glory of being given another chance to live happily ever after!
