Angelina Quotes
-"I think the
biggest thing I've gained from my marriage has been the
knowledge that I can take anything that's thrown at me and not
worry about collapsing. I feel a kind of inner strength, which I
never felt I had before, so I was always very insecure. After
those times when things were hopeless and the world was closing
in, I now feel like I can stand up and face anything. I feel
more confident about who I am and what I want from life than
ever. It's taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel
like I've grown up. It's also a matter of growth. I like who I
am much more now than I ever have before. Until you reach that
point, you can feel so desperate in life. Now I feel very free
and ready to live."
-Angelina Jolie (she said all this on January 22, 2003)
-"My breasts do still get in the way of action movies. I'm not
knocking them, you understand, it's just that they are kinda big
and can restrict my movements at times. You can bet Bruce Willis
never had to deal with that."
-Bunny
-"I am the kind of person who doesn't recognize borders. I don't
understand why we think it is okay to keep someone within one
border when they are unable to feed their family when they could
be getting help somewhere else. I don't see people as different
so I don't understand the idea of borders in this world.
-Angelina
-"I would love to quit acting, but I am aware I can do more good
as an actress than just working in the field. That is something
I have to accept. I am more successful as an actress and an
activist than just as an activist. Throughout my acting career,
there has always been something missing; I had never felt
totally fulfilled until I started my work with UNHCR.
-Angelina Jolie when asked if she would consider quitting acting
as a career, so she can focus more on human rights issues.
-"I don't think any one person or any one organization should
have the final word. That being said, I am working for a better
United Nations. Nothing is perfect. You should never rely on
only one source, but rather rely on those you believe in the
most."
-Angie
-"They have changed my life, they have shown me friendship and
love and courage and loyalty. They have triumphed against
enormous odds with unbroken spirit."

ever express in words"
-Angie
-"This work has given me a voice and an understanding of our
world. Once you have seen what you must do, how can you stop
doing what you can, whatever it costs you?"
-Angie's answer when asked about if donations made by rich young
(Americans) are just a fad.
-"I think it is vital that we do not remain complacent but that
we ensure that children, not only in the UK, but in every
nation, understand about international conflicts and their
far-reaching consequences. Everyone can help, and learning about
the issue is the first step."
-Angelina (the reason she mentions the UK is because this took
place when she spent a day, with children, at the Mines Advisory
Group (MAG) de-miner training centre in Cheshire.)
-"While I was filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia I became aware of
the landmine issue and the devastation they cause to the lives
of children and their families. It was only then that I fully
realised how little I knew about the realities of people’s lives
in other countries, like living with the constant fear of
landmines."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Children should grow up to be aware of what’s really going on
in this world, how people are being affected in other countries
that aren’t as fortunate as their own."
-Angelina
"It's wonderful. It's just the most amazing thing in the world.
He's changed my life. He's really centered me. Anytime I think
anything else is important, I just see his smile. He's made me
be the best person I could possibly be."
-Angelina, talking about Maddox.
-"We sleep next to each other so to wake up in the morning and
have this little person next to you is great. He's quite a boy."
-Angelina Jolie
-"He's made me be the best person that I could possibly be for
him. Motherhood is the most important thing for me and I know
he's happy."
-Angie
-"I was really nervous, because I wanted to make sure I’d be a
good mom. He’s made me the best person I could possibly be."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I feel more connected to the world living in England than I do
in America. When I'm in the States I feel very detached."
-Angelina talking about her new house in England.
-"We started shooting in Greece, which was great, except I hate
water and I hate bikinis. So we started this film with my worst
possible day as an actress, which is me Jet Skiing in a bikini
in the water in Greece."
-Bunny (one of her nicknames)
-"I'm glad those curves are not mine. I don't find them
attractive."
-Angelina talking about the character she plays Tomb Raider.
-"I'd like to be able to spend time with just jeans on, just
hanging out. You see people outside working, and you always see
guys with their shirts off."
-Angie
-"I want to slide down a fireman's pole from my bedroom. So it's
being put in! Nothing is as sexy as the fire pole will be. I'm
sure I'll experiment with it. The bedroom is directly above the
kitchen, so if I had a pole...I just like the idea of going from
one room to the other that way."
-Angelina
-"I was distressed when this desperate situation was brought to
my attention. I hope to encourage other people to make
themselves aware of this crisis facing the Western Saharan
refugees and do what they can to help."
-Angelina talking about West Saharan refugees and her donations
to the UN.
-"He's married to a beautiful woman, and I'd sooner sleep with
her than have an affair with him."
-Angelina's answer when asked about the rumour of having an
affair with Antonio Banderas, her co-star in the movie Original
Sin and husband of Melanie Griffith.
-"There's some serious erotic stuff in this movie. I really
haven't done those kinds of scenes before. People think I have,
because of my reputation, but the only time I did
below-the-waist nudity in any way was in Gia. But that's it.
Nobody's ever seen me really...above the sheets, goin' a little
crazy and doing some things. I'm going to fight for them not to
cut any of it. If they don't cut, it's going to get one hell of
a rating."
-Angelina talking about Original Sin.
-"I'll make it real simple, I'm a 36-C. In the game, she's a
double-D. In the movie, she's a D. We split the
difference...[the movie Croft] is much more athletic, and she
has smaller breasts, but she's still Lara Croft, so there."
-Angelina explaining how similar she is Lara Croft in the
bustline manner of speaking.
-"I haven't touched a knife in a really long time, I don't need
one, I don't want one. Mind you, I will be doing Tomb Raider,
and I will probably be throwing them. But I was 14. I was like a
real punk kid, and I was going out of my mind. And then sex was
boring and I was working and..."
-Angelina talking about her relationship with knives (she
collects them)
-"I've been gaining some weight to play Lara Croft. I'll get
bigger and stronger. I like being bigger. I finally got my ass
back, because I had lost weight. So I'm happy that I got my ass
back!"
-Angie talking about the preparations in order to jump into the
role as Lara Croft herself.
-"I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill
him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would
beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And
I'd beat her, too!"
-Angelina on if she ever caught Billy Bob cheating.
-"Billy found me one day sitting in the bathtub in my pajamas,
the rat on my lap, feeding it pumpkin pie. See, that's one of
those things that only somebody that really loves me is going to
think is cute."
-Angie talking about her husband Billy Bob.
-"If it weren't for Billy, I don't think I'd be doing much of
anything in this life. He makes me feel like a woman. I have
someone in my life who makes me discover what it is to be a
woman, and really to be free, and to try things. So it gave me
some confidence. And before I met him, I knew what it was to
want freedom and have moments of it, but also to feel very
caged. I'm completely out of whatever cage I was in, and it's
because of him."
-Angelina telling us how much her husband means to her.
-"With doing the movies I've done I don't think I would be half
the person I am today."
-Angie
-"I have a dark reputation and people assume all kinds of
things. I do have tattoos and I do wear leather, but there are
other sides of me that my films express."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Honestly, I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the
heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down
the street."
-Angelina Jolie (likes to talk about her bisexuality)
-"Oh, God, well, I don't know if it's divorced families or what,
but he and I were each other's everything, always, we've been
best friends, He's the sweetest human being I know. He's a good
person, and he's just given me so much love, and taken care of
me and, you know, it makes life great."
-Angelina
-"And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father."
-Angie
-"Get outside yourself. Get outside your environment. Do
something for other people."
-Angie
-"I like who I am better today than I have before. I've come to
a place where I'm very comfortable, settled. It's the first time
in my life I've been able to be soft, and I'm finding a strength
in that."
-Angie
-"I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good
place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a
mistake that led to a mess. Then I'm kind of like, 'Hi, I'm
Angelina.'"
-Bunny (one of her nicknames)
-"Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know
why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough. But if I
make him happy, then I'm everything I want to be."
-Angie
-"I usually try to look for something I haven't done before, a
side of me that I haven't completely explored. There's a truth
in acting, and there's a very real part of me that can
understand that or can believe in that or can see the beauty of
that or see the ugliness in that and the statement that needs to
be made. So it's all kind of me."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Sometimes I'll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an
hour. I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone
wants to taste me."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought
I was normal, but I'm dedicated to my work and that's what
counts."
-Angie
-"My family says everybody has a favourite Disney movie that
says something about you. Maybe Dumbo was always laughed at for
the things that were strange about him and eventually was proud
of that and that's what made him fly."
-Angie talking about her favourite Disney character Dumbo (she
is a big fan of the Disney characters).
-"I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and
jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a
self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get really dark."
-Angelina talking about her past.
-"There was a time when I was really going to give up acting...
right after Foxfire. I was trying to find characters with a
certain strength and things going on, but I was always
disappointed. Wallace was the first thing I did where I felt
their ideas were better than mine."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an
investment in time made me angry. But also I just felt sad. When
the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings
that finish you off."
-Angelina
-"...I don't see women, men, or black, white. I don't see a
handicapped person, I just see the person. I see the aura, the
energy."
-Angie
-"They're right to think that about me, because I'm the person
most likely to sleep with my female fans, I genuinely love other
women. And I think they know that."
-Jellybean (one of her nicknames)
-"All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of
fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough."
-Angelina Jolie
-"And, you know, he's the sexiest fucking creature that ever
lived."
-Angelina Jolie
-"When somebody just loves you, and you can make that person
happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly
feel like the most beautiful person in the world."
-Angie
-"I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life
when you feel that."
-Angie
-"I'm extremely honest, and I pride myself on it. I don't try to
be shocking. I'm playful, and I know when something I'm saying
is maybe shocking, but it's just the truth, I never wanted to be
scary to people or upsetting to people. I simply want to live
the way I need to live."
-Angie
-"We can die at anytime so we must live fully in the moment."
-Angelina Jolie
-"The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So
if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and
I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real
simple. And I think it's not that uncommon."
-Angelina
-"Some people say you are going the wrong way, when it's simply
a way of your own."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Be brave, be bold, be free."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I think I'd make a good boy."
-Angie
-"If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different
sides of me, I would probably be locked up."
-Angelina
-"I've collected weapons since I was a little girl."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I'm who I am, and people can take it one way or the other, but
I'm at least living honestly."
-Angelina Jolie
-"If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by
anyone's perception of me."
-Jolie
-"No one can make sense of it because it makes no sense"
-Jolie
-"I don't do tharapy, my choice of characters is my therapy."
-Angelina Jolie
-"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of
wanted to be a vampire."
-Bunny (one of her nicknames)
-"Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know,
raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be
completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love.
And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how
much it takes."
-Angelina
-"I've realised that being happy is a choice. You never want to
rub anybody the wrong was not be fun to be around, but you have
to be happy. When I get logical and I don't trust my
instincts-that's when I get in trouble."
-Angelina Jolie
-"People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them. I'm
enjoying my life."
-Angelina Jolie
-"It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll
go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation and bright blue or bright
red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs."
-Angie
-"I wish we lived in a world where everybody could be completely
who they are. Just be open and happy, not feel judged."
-Angie
-"I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as
long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't
judge people in your life. I think you should live completely
free."
-Angelina Jolie
-"You accept that you don't know who you are. You learn to enjoy
things better."
-Angelina Jolie
-"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by
learning to see an imperfect person perfectly... Only after we
have lost everything, are we free to do anything... Throw things
out there and not be perfect and not have answers to anything
and see if people understand."
-Angie
-"It's not my responsibility to have a personal life that
everybody's comfortable with."
-Angelina
-"I don't think of myself as voluptuous or even feminine. In a
perfect world I would walk around with no shirt, in leather
pants and boots and not think twice about it and never comb my
hair and be covered in tattoos and just be thrilled."
-Angie
-"I need someone physically stronger than me.... I'm always on
top. It's really unfortunate. I am begging for the man that can
put me on the bottom. Or the woman. Anybody that can take me
down."
-Angie
-"Personally, I need more sex, okay? Before I die I wanna taste
everyone in the world."
-Angelina
-"I can't smoke cigars without playing with them."
-Angelina (after Tomb Raider she stopped smoking)
-"I always play women I would date."
-Angie
-"I always fall in love while I'm working on a film. It's such
an intense thing. And I've always been at my most impulsive when
Englishmen are around. They get to me. And, no, we didn't have a
big white wedding. We had a small black wedding."
-Angie
-"I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are
strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me
offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra
and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are
also very feminine."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I loved some kind of expression. I didn't know what it was
going to be. I didn't know if I could write, or paint that well,
but I knew I could feel it."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love
with a woman."
-Angie
-"I'd probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn't
married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I
saw her."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I'm a very straightforward person."
-Angie
-"When I was young, my dad (actor Jon Voight) and I watched
Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. I told my dad that
was the kind of animal passion I wanted from a man."
-Angelina
-"But there are very few people that can hold me in a way, to
look at them and talk to me. And to make me cry, and talk to me
about my life. And also to say, get out there, I believe in you.
Go, go, go. And get me to go, and go to get my life together.
And for me to want to come back and say, look what I did."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Talking about love is like dancing about Architecture but
that's not gonna stop me from trying."
-Angie
-"When I was 14, my boyfriend moved into my mother's house with
me. We were together and serious for two years. That
relationship felt like a marriage. It was a tough breakup, so I
immersed myself in acting to get over it."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I found that when I was 4 years old, there was this part of me
that liked making people laugh and liked wearing glitter
underwear. And how can you not."
-Angelina
-"He was the perfect example of an artist who couldn't be
married. He had the perfect family, but there's something for
him that's very scary about that."
-Angelina (about her father, actor Jon Voight)
-"Yeah, but before anything, I think in 6 years somehow I've
grown up to have a beautiful home, 2 beautiful stepchildren, a
beautiful husband, my family is healthy and happy. I'm
financially ok and I do what I love for a living. That's what I
think, and I think God, how did I get so lucky."
-Angelina
-"I choose roles that I think reflect my next stage of growth as
a person."
-Angelina Jolie
"I didn't get it for the dark of reason everybody thinks. It's a
reminder that we could die tomorrow, so live today. It was a
positive reminder to be free..."
-Angelina Jolie (about her Japanese symbol of death tattoo)
-"Death could come at any time. The tattoo is a strong reminder
to live fully in the moment and never have regrets. I didn't get
the tattoo for the dark reason everyone thinks."
Angie (about her Japanese symbol of death tattoo)
-"I would like to be open with the public. I would like to not
keep secrets or be careful when I talk. I don't want to have to
plan things... I want to be outspoken. I want to say my opinions
and I hope they're taken in the right way. I don't want to stop
being free. And I won't."
-Angie
-"I'm odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny
Muppet."
-Angelina Jolie
-"That's the reason we kind of exist. Its like our job. To give
to eachother. And learn from eachother. To capture moments of
people. So, its really strange to have somebody ignore the
obvious human being right in front of them."
-Angelina "Jellybean" Jolie
-"You know, we all need to just wake up excited about life. I
just want to do the job I always wanted to do since I was a
little girl, and live in peace with family and people I love,
and just be silly and collect T-shirts from gas stations and go
on road trips and eat popcorn in the middle of the night and
watch TV. That's all I want, you know?"
-Angie
-"Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think
everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!"
-Angelina Jolie
-"If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're
wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous, then
someone tells you you stink and you believe that too!"
-Angie
-"I love my father, but I'm not him."
-Jolie
-"I'm one of those people who needs to learn how to let someone
hug me. I also need to need other people because I do."
-Angelina Jolie (in the past)
-"I'm so self-sufficient that I don't know how to let a man be a
man. Or how to commit to buying a house together. I could never
even be on the same insurance."
-Angie
-"Nah, I really like rats, I actually took one of the rats home,
but my mom made me give it back. I like snakes too. Fluffy
little things frighten me."
-Angie
-"I've never really dated. I've slept with four men in my life,
so it's funny to think that people think I'm a sex maniac."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Yeah. At the same time! Which is just confusing the issue,
because I may love women--I have loved women in my life--but I
don't cheat on them! [Laughter] I'm, in fact, a one-at-a-time
kind of person."
-Angie
-"Everybody went crazy when I went shopping alone at Harrods the
other day. I was like; what the hell? Nothing has changed in my
life and nothing is going to and I think that's a choice you
make."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I could have my own children. I would give them yellow roses
and if they got to loud I would put them someplace quiet, I
would put them in the oven and I would kiss them everyday and
tell them you don't have to be anybody because I would know that
being somebody doesn't really make you anybody anyways."
-Angie
-"I love the human body, I think as I get older, I think it
would be even more appropriate. There would be, I don't know,
more character in my figure."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I usually feel very invaded before I go to (my) premieres and
end up crying. Then, when I finally get there, that's when I get
comfortable."
-Angelina Jolie (this is not the case today I believe, the
crying that is :)
-"People say to me, 'Be careful what you talk about. Don't talk
about things that are weird.' But why are we all doing this if
we're not going to be who we are?"
-Angelina Jolie
-"If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being
different....I'd rather be completely fucking mental."
-Angie
-"People are probably going to think I'm out of my mind. They
already think I'm sexually wacko-sleeping with my brother,
dating other men, a vampire..."
-Angelina Jolie
-"My father was very uncomfortable about success."
-Angelina Jolie
-"My dad always meant well, but he was in his mind a lot."
-Angelina (she didn't always have a strong relationship with her
father, but now she has)
-"I've talked to my brother, and as long as he's not upset...
and he's not. He feels that if it brings up issues about
brothers and sisters..."
-Jolie (talking about her close friendship/relationship with her
brother).
-"I went to the Renaissance fair with my mom when I was a little
girl and there were all these kinda knives. There's something
really beautiful and traditional about them. Different countries
have different weapons and blades and there's something
beautiful about them to me. So I began collecting knives. I've
collected weapons since I was a little girl."
-Angie
-"I know I present myself as many things. I'm very sexual, yet
I've always been monogamus. I feel both masculine and feminine.
I understand that side of men that encompasses the lone person.
I have the restless spirit of a man."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Whenever I find myself looking out of the window, whishing I
was somewhere else."
-Angie, about her window tattoo.
-"I wish I could find people who just would fight me and break
through to me and hold me down and scream their life into my
face."
-Angie
-"Fuck it, let's go outside. Let's just, like, fistfight."
-Jellybean (one of her nicknames)
-"I love doing lesbian love scenes. Before I did my lesbian
scenes in Gia, I talked to actresses who said love scenes are
easier with another woman than a man. Bound's Gina Gershon and
Jennifer Tilly said they'd lie there and discuss the sale at
Barney's between takes. It's different being with another woman
because it produces a different sexual spark - it's a little
dangerous and exciting. I loved it when I shaved my head for Gia
because women kept wanting to touch it, and it became this very
sexual thing, having no hair. I believe I get these sexually
ambiguous parts because I love women, and not in a way that's
superficial."
-Angelina Jolie
-"Well, at 14 I was a little, like, 'Don't touch me!' and that
doesn't really help when you're having sex. A lot of it came
from trying to get out all the pain that was inside me. You
can't join a war, so you have this weird war with yourself. Now,
everything is just different."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I don't take a lot of that "you're so hot" stuff seriously.
I'm a really goofy odd little person and people will discover
that eventually. For instance, I only wear black because I'm a
slob. In fact, I only wear clothes that don't show spilled
coffee. I'm one of the most flawed people. I woke up this
morning and broke the phone by falling over."
-Angelina
-"Like when you stop at Baskin-Robbins and get a cone with
sprinkles and sit in the car singing along to Elvis on the
radio. It's an absolutely necessary thing to do, because you
can."
-Angie
-"But there's a side of me that's soft. I love my family; I want
to be a mother."
-Jolie
-"Because I'm a bad girl, people always automatically think that
I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with me or that
I'm obsessed with death. The truth is that I am probably the
least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death
than some other people, it is probably because I love life more
than they do."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I'm so nervous, I'm about to fall over..."
-Jolie
-"Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering
we would never learn from over mistakes. To make it right, pain
and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no
way of life."
-Jolie
-"I don't see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of
flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I'm skinny,
as if that's supposed to make me happy. But I feel better when I
have more weight on me. So it's when I'm not feeling like myself
that people are telling me I look great. It's so strange. No
matter what, somehow it's like I'm not enough."
-Angie
-"I got really drunk!"
-Angelina Jolie (after Tomb Raider she started to drink less,
and no, she hasn't had any problems with alcohol :)
-"Looking for a very secret, very straight night of reckless
abandon to do all the things I've never done before. Shock me
and keep it private."
-Angelina's Personal Ad
-"You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives,
shit happens."
-Bunny (one of Angelina's nicknames)
-"I don't know much about my father's life. He goes to dinner
with the family, but then he goes home and I'm guessing he's by
himself and it makes me think, well, that's going to be me. I'm
going to end up being connected to everybody via my films, but
at the end of the day, I'll go home by myself. I think he's very
alone and possibly lonely sometimes, you know?"
-Angelina (she didn't always have a strong
relationship/connection with her father, but now she has)
-"There's something about death that is comforting. The thought
that you could die tomorrow, frees you to appriciate your life
now."
-Angelina Jolie
-"I'd have no problem killing someone."
-Angie
-"I think most young people go through a point in their lives
where they're considering death, or considering why they're
alive, or why not, or why not to continue, or why to continue.
And there's something, death doesn't scare me at all. I made a
decision that if I was going to live the life I wanted to, and
live in the moment, that you could never be too careful or cause
it could risk, you know, you think about, or if I do this, then
it could affect me this way in the future, or if I do this I'm
risking my life, you know, you just have to do everything that
you want to do, never regret anything, and be completly in the
moment and in order to do that, you have to accept the realities
of life and death."
-Angelina Jolie

-"See the world in a grain of sand, heaven in a wild flour, hold
infinity in the palm of your hand, eternity in an hour."
-"Right. So, pretty much touch anything and you get your head
chopped off."
Gone in 60 Seconds (1999):
-"I've got two jobs. I've discovered that you have to work twice
as hard when it's honest."
-"Which do you think is more exciting, having sex, or stealing
cars?"
-"Always a sucker for a red head."
Girl Interrupted (1999):
-"Look, she gave your husband a rim job. Big fucking beal! I'm
sure he was begging for it and I heard it was like a pencil
anyway."
-"A word of advice; don't point your fucking finger at crazy
people."
-"There is just too many buttons in the world just begging to be
pressed, just begging to be pressed, and it really makes me
fucking wonder, why doesn't anyone ever press mine? Why am I so
neglected? Why doesn't anyone reach in and rip out the truth and
tell me, that I'm a fucking whore or that my parents wish I were
dead!!"
-"Yeah well that's what ther-rape-me's all about. That's why
fuckin Freud's picture on every shrink's wall. Create a fuckin
industry out of it. You lie down, confess your secrets, and your
saved. Ka-ching!"
Lisa says this while playing cards with Cynthia and Georgina
(this is a poem by Dorothy Parker):
Razors Pain you
Rivers are Damp
Acids Stain You
Drugs Cause Cramps
Guns aren't Lawful
Nooses Give
Gas Smells Awful
You Might as Well Live
-"You didn't get better Daisy, they just gave up. You call this
a life, he? Taking daddy's money. Buying your dollies and
knickknacks, eating his fucking chicken, fatting up like a prize
heifer. You change the scenery, but not the fucking situation.
And the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows,
*everybody knows*---that he fucks you--- But what they don't
know is that you like it. You like it."
-"Its cool, Its ok, Its fine, Its fucking fine, he’s a man he’s
a dick, he’s a dick. He’s a man, he’s a chicken, he’s a valium
speculum whatever whatever.. You like being Mrs Randone,
probably all you've ever known."
-"I'm playing the villain baby, just like you want, I try to
give you everything you want."
-"You wanted your file, I found you your file. You wanted out, I
got you out. You needed money, I found you some. I'm fucking
consistent, I told you the truth. I didn't write it down in a
fucking book. I told you to your face! And I told Daisy to her
face what everybody knew and wouldn't say and she killed
herself."
-"Sooo...daddy buys you a private & no one gets in. You never
leave your room 'cept for when Valerie makes you go to the
cafeteria, where, uh, you never eat. You're a laxative junkie. I
always thought you were like Janet, then here you are with this
fucking chicken. (squaks) So what's with that, huh?"
The Bone Collector (1999):
-"You think because of your condition you have the right to push
people around? I'm sorry that is truly pathetic."
Pushing Tin (1998):
-"How many words will it take you to walk out the door?"
Playing by heart (1998):
-"Why don't you do the world a big fat fucking favour and crawl
back into your mothers womb!"
Gia (1998):
-"I have to go! I have to go! Everybody has to go! Where the
fuck does everybody go when they have to go, huh?"
-"Look, this was a free trip to New York and if I knew you were
looking for Marsha fucking Brady, I would have stayed at home."
-"Life and death. Energy and peace. If I stopped today, it was
still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I have made, and
would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and
scared my soul. It was worth it for haveing been allowed to walk
where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth,
back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it and
above...."
-"I ain't no good at this. I ain't no good at this! And if you
are good at it, what exactly are you good at."
-"This is another day in the life. A life is like a book, a book
is like a box, a box has six sides, inside and outside. So how
do you get to what's inside-out?"
-"And I would tell them that they don't have to be anybody
because I would know that being somebody doesn't make you
anybody anyways."
Foxfire (1996):
Maddy:If I told you that I loved you would you take it the wrong
way?
Legs:What do you mean by wrong?
Maddy:Well,it's just that..I'm not....and your...oh jeeze..
Legs:(laughs) I'll take it however you want me to Maddy...
Hackers (1995):
-"God gave men brains larger then dogs so they wouldn't hump
womens' legs at cocktail parties."
