"I'm just an Irish biddy."

-- Judy Garland

“The Clean Michigan Initiative has been and continues to be a success.”
“What is the fear inside language? No accident of the body can make it stop burning.”
“I'm not a believer in the future. The most interesting things are always behind us. I look at everything as archaeology.”
“Word lessons, in particular the wouldst couldst shouldst have loved kind, were kept up, with much warlike thrashing, until I had committed the whole of French, Latin, and English grammars to memory...”
“Where is the Scarlett Johansson superhero movie? I don't understand it, why is it taking so long for this? This woman clearly shows that people want to go see her in the movies. â€˜Lucy,â€™ didn't it beat â€˜Herculesâ€™ by a lot opening weekend, when it was made for a lot less? She shows that she kicks ass, she's a great actress. â€˜Under the Skinâ€™ is an incredible film, and why are we still waiting for a go-ahead on a superhero movie starring Scarlett Johansson? To me, it's a no-brainer. You want to make money, put Scarlett Johansson in a superhero movie!”
“I feel really different from other musicians.”
“In the case of drama (stage, movies, television ), there appear to be people in almost every audience who never quite fully realize that a play is a set of fictional, symbolic representations. An actor is one who symbolizes other people, real or imagined. [...] Also some years ago it was reported that when Edward G. Robinson, who used to play gangster roles with extraordinary vividness, visited Chicago, local hoodlums would telephone him at his hotel to pay their professional respects.”

“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”
