“Sometimes I feel like my life ended and I'm still here.
Other times I feel so calm, I swear I can hear air moving slowly over the earth. I still eat junk, I don't exercise enough, and last week I had a cigarette. But I figure if I had to give up everything I put between me and my feelings, I'd stand at the center of my being and howl like a lonely old dog.”

“While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.”

“It struck me today that the people that have had an impact on me are the people who didn't make it. Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift, Lenny Bruce, Janis Joplin, John Belushi. It's not Making It to be Marilyn Monroe, but it is to me.
In our culture these people are heroes. There's something inside of that- a message that killing yourself like that isn't so bad. All the interesting people do it, the extraordinary ones. A weird, weird message. Most of the people I've admired in show business-comedians, writers, actors-are alcoholics or drug addicts or suicides. It's bizarre. And I get to be in that club now. It's the one thing I cling to in here: Wow, I'm hip now, like the dead people.
Romancing the stoned.”
