“I am a professional liar. I am two people. I take pleasure in experimenting with people’s emotions, people who trust me, putting their understanding of me in doubt. Basically, I am the best thing that could have happened to you.”
A.M. Bakalar, Madame Mephisto

“You think I never wanted to leave when I was your age? You probably never thought about it. But I did. Then I met your father and I thought - you need to appreciate what life’s giving you.”
A.M. Bakalar, Madame Mephisto

“You need to have a cover job if you don’t want to get caught.”
A.M. Bakalar, Madame Mephisto

“Artistic expression is about freedom, not about imprisoning yourself as an author within the boundaries of your mother tongue.”
A.M. Bakalar
