“I was always cutting my Barbie and Pollyanna dolls' hair. I lined them all up and put a cloth around their necks, like they were at the beauty parlor. Barbie was a real heartbreaker, but then all of a sudden, Barbie was freakin' bald. That was a shocker.”
“I used to say I was Saint Cyndi of a Feces, because wherever shit fell, there I was.”
“Not for nothing, but if you do that again, I'm gonna have to punch ya fuckin' heart out!”
“We lived large in a way that people who really live large don't - there's a spice, a richness, a joy that working-class people have. And even though we were kind of products of misery, we still had a vibrance.”
“I still am a little late, though. I'm trying. There's a lot of shit to do to pull this old ass together.”
“In the darkest place, shed the brightest light.”
“God has more important things to worry about than who I sleep with.”
“If you're lost you can look and you will find me. Time after time. If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting. Time after time”
