“People always try to do the right thing..after they've tried everything else.”

“People who try hard to do the right thing always seem mad.”

“I'm partly somebody else trying to fit in and say the right things and do the right thing and be in the right place and wear what everybody else is wearing. Sometimes I think we're all trying to be shadows of each other, trying to buy the same records and everything even if we don't like them. Kids are like robots, off an assembly line, and I don't want to be a robot!”

“All you can do is take each day as it comes. Try and do the best you can with what you're given. You won't always do the right thing, but you can try. And you can try to do the right thing next time. That, and stay alive.”

“But people do things to survive, and then after they survive, they can't live with what they've done.”

“When you’ve tried everything and failed, try everything else and succeed”
