I was never happy in Hollywood. There, everything is distorted by the importance people give to money.

As far as I can make out, women's friendships with each other are based on a gush of lies and pretty speeches that mean nothing. You'd think they were all wolves trying to seduce each other the way they flatter and flirt when they're together.

I'm going to have cute boobs 'til I'm 90, so there's that. I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I'll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.

I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We're talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world... I'm just a little dismayed that people aren't beyond it yet.

It's unlikely I'll ever submit to a psychiatrist's couch. I don't want some stranger prowling around through my psyche, monkeying with my id. I don't need an analyst to tell me that I have never had any sense of security. Who has?

The reason good women like me and flock to my pictures is that there is a little bit of vampire instinct in every woman.

It's not easy, though, singing upside down in a headstand on a raised platform with your unfettered breasts hitting you in the chin.

It has been said, "History is written by the victors." I take this to mean we can make ourselves victorious by writing, and then rewriting our own stories. In a country and culture so dominated by media, by the manipulation of words and stories, telling the tales of people whose stories historically have not been told is a radical act and I believe an act that can change the world and help rewrite history.

Willow:
Questions. Great.
Tara:
W-we can answer questions.
Nigel:
Good. I need to know a little bit more about the Slayer, and about the both of you. Your relationship, whatever you can tell me.
Tara:
O-o-our relationship?
Willow:
We're friends.
Tara:
Good friends.
Willow:
Girlfriends, actually.
Tara:
Yes, we're girlfriends.
Willow:
We're in love. W-we're lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.
Nigel:
I meant your relationship with the Slayer.

A remembrance can mean nothing to the one remembered; it can only remind the ones left behind how little they did while you were still alive.

This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened.

I don't know where to begin with that one... the final episode is… appalling.

I think it caught on because the stories that these four girls have individually in the book are extremely relatable. They're very real teenage experiences. I think the friendship between the four girls is something that is more realistic than a lot of the relationships we see between girls in movies lately. A lot of the time it's like backstabbing or petty or superficial. I think most girls' relationships are real friendships like these. I don't think they're that much more dramatic.

I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita. How I have existed fills me with horror for I failed in everything. Spelling, arithmetic, writing, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend, even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of not trying. I tried with all my heart.

Please be at peace father,
I'm at peace with you,
bitterness isn't worth clinging to,
after all the anguish we've all been through.

Quote of the day
Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
