I wish I had invented sex.

The only person I really believe in is me.

(on her refusal to locate her birth parents) I know who I am, and it,would be an insult to the Harrys.

I never expected anything like that to happen, I never knew that,anything like that even existed.

[on the 1970s]: You know I always felt about that period, that all of,those drugs that came around that wiped out a lot of us and obliterated,a lot of stuff, was all politically sanctioned. I always felt that and,Chris said that too; that a lot of people who really had something,important to say or do were subdued.

But computers have changed the world for everyone, so there will be some way of working it out.
