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

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

I believe that all the important people in my life prior to 1982 were victimized by my illness

I kind of like the position of being the fair-haired savior of my mother

When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.

I had been very close to Anne Bancroft when we worked together in The Miracle Worker

I can't even remember how many times I tried to kill myself
