They say it's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me, I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember even if I don't write it down.

I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.

I think the Republican party should be placed in drydock and have the barnacles scraped off its bottom.

Do you know what my ambition is in life? To be without ambition. As far back as I can remember I've been absolutely hag-ridden. I'd like to attain the state of mind that the Indians call Nirvana. That, for me, would happen if I were free of ambition.

I'm as pure as the driven slush.
