“She’s a smart woman. I love that. Intelligence is a wonderful and powerful aphrodisiac. To me, it enhances beauty, makes an ordinary woman look like a movie star.”

“Worrying about clothes, though, is easy to understand. When it comes to clothes, people are very competitive, especially if they're movie stars. I think every smart woman devises a look for herself. Margaret Sullivan had a look: romantic, young, pretty, smart. Katharine Hepburn made a look for herself as this wonderful old salty character. Marilyn Monroe had a look; it was like, "Fuck me with sadness"...”

“She’s beautiful—broken and battered, still the most beautiful woman in the world to me—the only woman in the world for me.”

“She’s the woman I love. The woman my sick fucker of a father doesn’t want me to love”

“I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.”

“A smart woman would have shut up. Did I? Hell no. Intelligence is overrated anyway.”
