“What I'm certain I don't want is to find myself someday in a new century, an old bitter woman looking back, wishing that right now I'd had more nerve.”

“I don't like doing interviews, I don't like doing what I'm doing right now. I'd rather be at home playing my guitar.”

“Be happy, honey. No
one deserves it more. But don't forget… I'm
keeping one little piece of your heart for myself.
And if you ever want it back… you know
where to find it.”

“I had an alarm, I had nerve gas, I had a yogurt. What more could anyone want?”

“I find myself looking into people's eyes more than I ever did before. And I realize, that's where we stop being a certain gender or color. Just look right into the center of the eye.”

“I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now.
-- Time Stand Still (1987)”

“I don't want… to run away by myself… because no matter what… I'd rather be together with everyone…”

“When I was your age… I wish I'd known that I already had everything I needed within myself to be happy, instead of looking for happiness at beauty counters.”

“I don't wish to be the symbol of anything. I'm only myself.”

“I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery.”
