Personal quotes
"I was, like, forty at birth. When I wasn't even
a year old, I spoke, I was potty trained, I walked and
talked. That was it. Then I started school and drove
everybody crazy because they realized I had popped out
as an adult. I had adult questions and wanted adult
answers."
"My
father has always been supportive of my individuality."
- in a Barbara Walters interview, September 1993
"It's
traumatizing for me to come to Washington during a Republican
administration because I don't have any Republican clothes."
- Washington Post, June 20, 2001
"It's
my experience that you really can't lose when you try
the truth."
"Any
man in Hollywood will meet me if I want that. No, make
that any man anywhere."
"My
personal style and public style are very different.
When I go out, I play dress up."
"Never
play cards with a guy named Doc. Never eat at a place
called Mom's. And never have sex with anybody who has
more problems than you do."
"...be
willing to say yes, no matter who says no, and to say
no, regardless of who says yes."
On the benefits
of being famous; "I find I get to torture a higher
class of men."
"I dress
up to show that I am happy." 1994.
"It
was my first movie ("Stardust Memories") and
the opportunity of working with Woody Allen. It was
a great experience, and I can compare it, in sexual
terms, with the lost of virginity."
"It's
my experience that you really can't lose when you try
the truth."
"People
don't change their behavior unless it makes a difference
for them to do so."
Asked to
pay tribute to troops fighting in Iraq: "I know
it's a difficult time for you to come out to party during
such a time of strife in our world. My feeling is that
I hope everyone will be safe and protected and taken
care of, and our prayers are with the people around
the world who will be affected by this."
"I like
to drive with my knees. Otherwise, how can I put on
my lipstick and talk on the phone?"
"I've
had the same breasts for my entire adult life"
"If
you have a vagina and an attitude in this town, then
that's a lethal combination."
Stone found
her brush with death from a brain aneurysm has given
her a new lease of life, "This brilliant, bright,
white vortex of light was upon me. And then I was met
by some of my friends, people who are very dear to me.
But it was over very fast and suddenly I was back in
the room and in my own body. It affected me so profoundly
that I realized my life would never be the same again.
It has definitely given me a new perspective on my career."
"Ava
Gardner was the most beautiful woman in the world, and
it's wonderful that she didn't cut up her face. She
addressed aging by picking up her chin and receiving
the light in a better way. And she looked like a woman.
She never tried to look like a girl."
"Women
might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake whole
relationships."
"If
you act like you know what you're doing, you can do
anything you want-except neurosurgery."
"I bake
all the time, but I don't like to eat the cookies when
they're done. I just like the dough."
"I don't
believe make up and the right hairstyle alone can make
a woman beautiful. The most radiant woman in the room
is the one full of life and experience."
"Not
in this lifetime. Why? Because I'm the only one she
hasn't done it to." (when told Madonna has said
she wants to kiss her)
"We
Barbie dolls are not supposed to behave the way I do."
"I believe
that if you truly, truly love your children, you need
to supply condoms in a place in your home, at a quantity
that makes it a non-judgmental situation for them to
have them... If they want to make water balloons out
of them, great. If they want to carry them so they feel
tough, great. If they want to give them to their friends,
even better."
