“My mother wanted to be Betty Boop. Betty Boop was independent. Betty Boop was sexy. Betty Boop really had her shit together, you know?”

“Betty inhales sharply, 'It's just I thought I had lost you forever.'Oh, Betty, don't you know there's no such thing as forever?”

“I think if you tell someone that you love him or her, (especially a person that once screamed, “I’m not gonna love you ever!”) and that person says “duh,” then I think that means you have done something right.”

“You’ve always called me irreverent. You’ve branded me irreverent. In my mind you invented irreverent.”

“I can accept that all I’ve ever wanted is not very special—all I’ve ever wanted, like most people, is proof of love.”

“Betty was a great shark of a woman. Men died in her wake.”

“There is nothing like Betty Ford sex.”
