“I was fearless...and lawless.”

“Everyone thought I was bold and fearless and even arrogant, but inside I was always quaking.”

“I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone.”

“I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.”

“I have loved and been in love. There's a big difference.”

“I don't care what is written about me as long as it isn't true.”

“I could peel you like a pear and god himself would see the justice in it.”
