I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women period. At least maybe this is just my fear but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic and I do enjoy a lot of my life.

The thing about Republicans is that they don't care so much about respect but they love fear at least in others.

You have to have fear to take risks - and I want to at least try.

What people fear most about tragedy is its randomness - a taxi cab jumps the curb and hits a pedestrian a gun misfires and kills a bystander. Better to have some rational cause and effect between incident and injury. And if cause and effect aren't possible better that there at least be some reward for all the suffering.

I do not say think as I think but think in my way. Fear no shadows least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.

As soon as men know that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame they kill or at least they encourage killers with approving smiles.

I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store.

I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.

Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.

For a time at least I was the most famous person in the entire world.
