Carolee: Don't look at me like that. You're no different than I am... you just don't know it yet.
Astrid: Looks don't interest me.
Paul: That's easy for you to say, you've never been ugly.
Astrid: You're either an artist or you're not. You are.
Ingrid: I made you. I'm in your blood. You don't go anywhere until I let you go.
Astrid: Then let me go.
Ingrid: Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you're lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself... know what you want.
Starr: Astrid, those are ugly shoes.
Astrid: Snakes don't bite above ankle.
Starr: Well, take my word for it, you better being bitten by snakes then dressin' for them.
Astrid: The next time you and your friends jump me, I'll cut your throats when you're sleeping.
Astrid: But.
Starr: Don't "But" me. He is a man, and he sees what he sees, and does what he can.
Paul: I was born addicted to heroin.
Astrid: And what was that like?
Paul: I don't know - I was out of rehab by the time I was six months old.
Paul: What happened?
Astrid: She let me go.
Astrid: You look at me mother and you don't like what you see. But this is the price... the price of belonging to you.
Ingrid: You don't go anywhere until I let you go.
Astrid: Then let me go.
Astrid: There's nothing wrong with being a Christian.
Ingrid: Are you out of your mind? How did this happen? I raised you, not a pack of Bible-thumping trailer trash. I raised you to think for yourself.
Astrid: No you didn't. You raised me to think like you.
Astrid: Beauty was my mother's law, her religion.
Ingrid: Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
Paul: I get this feeling like... you're not interested in guys.
Astrid: You're right, I'm not.
Ingrid: Of course I was jealous. I live in a cell with a women who has a vocabulary of 25 words.
Rena: Workers of the world arise. You've got nothing to lose but Visa card, happy meal, and Kotex with wings.
Ray: My opinion is if there is a god he sure as hell ain't worth prayin' to.
