“Dogs never bite me. Just humans.”

“I had to use my wits or else I'd have been sunk - and nothings going to sink me. Everyone was always pulling at me, tugging at me, as if they wanted a piece of me. It was always, 'do this, do that,' and not just on the job but off, too. God, I've tried to stay intact, whole.”

“I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.”

“I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.”

“I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. ”

“I've been on a calendar, but never on time.”

“I just want to be wonderful.”
