Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called life.

We have developed this unbelievable ability to deny. We have to. If we didn't, we'd go crazy.

From the moment we walk out the door until we come back home our sensibilities are so assaulted by the world that we have to soak up as much love as we can get, simply to arm ourselves.

I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning

I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination

It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.
