 I have reached a state in life where I can buy a whole house full of chairs and can bump into them until they are black and blue. |
| At awards time, The Exorcist was nominated in 11 categories, everybody but the janitor was up for an Oscar. There was no category for what I did. |
| My admiration for the phenomenon of Alcoholics Anonymous is boundless. |
| My only true harmony lies deep within my soul, wherever that is. I know that somehow I am in tune with the universe. |
| The great people I've met always have time for the niceties. |
| I was taught to be anti-Jewish. |
| I can only know what love is insofar as I can feel it. |
| Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time. |
| I'm glad I am a woman who once danced naked in the Mediterranean Sea at midnight. |
| Most people call me Mercy. I like it. |
| If I have to climb to heaven on a ladder, I shall decline the invitation. |
| I am rich from the bequests other gifted people have seen fit to leave to me. |
| I've always had bronchitis. I've been administered the Sacrament of Death three times for it. |
| My second marriage had a lot to do with alcohol. |
| I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. |
| I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room. |
| When I am rehearsing for a play, I try to read nothing that might distract my concentration from the work in progress. |
| Like many alcoholics, I was a staggering woman in a chic apartment, sick and utterly disgusting. |
| I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy. |
| I have no use for people who hunt for what they call sport. |
