#Quote
1Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above
2I felt very close to Wilhelmina, it was a great loss for me ... she was just a great person to have in my life ... her death was a terrible loss to me.
3I think God has a plan for me, but I don't think it's in this life.
4It kind of creeps up on you, in a world that's, you know, none that anyone will ever know, except someone that has been there. [on her drug abuse during her ABC 20/20 (1978) interview in the early 1980s]
