“I've been living my own life, making my own decisions for a long while now. It's impossible to go back to being treated like a child again. I don't think I'll do anything of importance that will displease you, but Mother, from now on, you must give me complete freedom.”

Bette Davis - Charlotte Vale

“Most of us keep that inner-being lock up, hidden away. A fiction writer doesn't have to do that. He doesn't have to hide it. He doesn't have to keep it from anything. He can let it out, bring it out into the open. Let it live, let it breathe.”

Timothy Hutton - Thad Beaumont

“The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.”

Sir Charlie Chaplin - Hynkel - Dictator of Tomania

“Sometimes girls like you go down and down until at last they fall victim to narcotics!”

Virginia Weidler - Harriet Thomas

“A toast... to us, to our last summer of immature, adolescent decadence.”
Ryan Phillippe - Barry William Cox
