If I have to climb to heaven on a ladder, I shall decline the invitation.

I believe in joy, but I believe in the flip-side, agony.

Aside from my son, no person has ever shown for me the gentle concern I knew from Governor Adlai Stevenson.

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

I am rich from the bequests other gifted people have seen fit to leave to me.

I have no use for people who hunt for what they call sport

I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker
