Quotes:

[opening narration]::Elizabeth: Back, back, back. How fucking far back do you go? My mom and dad were divorced before I was two, and from that on my father was almost uninvolved in my life, and my mother much too involved. She wanted to make up for all her mistakes through me.

Elizabeth: One night there was something in my pants, like blood. My mom said, oh, hell, your period. This is where all the trouble starts. She was right.

Elizabeth: Now mom and dad really had something to fight over: me. Then one day my dad disappeared. No numbers, no letters - just gone. I wrote to seventeen magazine, a long letter about us. They wanted to publish it as an article, but kept asking, your dad going away, does he come back? Does it have a happy ending? In reality it didn't, but I thought, what the hell, I'll give them what they want.

Mrs. Wurtzel: Come on, this is the most important day of your life!::Elizabeth: I thought that's when you get married.::Mrs. Wurtzel: Huh, no honey, that's the worst day of your life.

Mrs. Wurtzel: [on the phone] Mom, she looks beautiful.::Elizabeth: Pity, I was aiming for psychotic.

Elizabeth: Ever since I was a little kid, my mum and I hang out together. I didn't fit in with most kids at schools. They thought I was strange, so they made me feel like a stranger. And my mother took advantage of it from an early age, throwing me into plays, spelling bees, studying, writing, museums, concerts, and even more writing. She convinced me this would lead to the Holy Grail: Harvard. A place where I would finally be surrounded by people I had something in common with.

Elizabeth: [to Ruby] We'll be like this beautiful literary freaks. Being brilliant, and dark. Sexy. [both laugh]::Elizabeth: [to herself] Trouble is, I'm deadly serious.

Elizabeth: He told me afterwards in terms of absolute value, sex and drugs were equally meaningless to him. Just two different ways to have fun. Which is all well and good, until a girl tries out the same approach.

Elizabeth: You know, if you're going to suggest therapy, don't. I'm living proof it doesn't work.

Elizabeth: You don't understand. You don't understand, it was an accident.::Ruby: An accident? You call that a fucking accident?::Elizabeth: It was, uh, it was sort of, you know...::Ruby: Come on, what?::Elizabeth: An accidental blowjob?

Famous quotes by Lou Reed:

"For the truly obsessive, they can get the original Poe. I amplify it. I think it's more understandable."

"So all those kids out there who think mix and match is really great, you don't know what you're talking about, ... I'm a professional. I do this for a living."

"He's a great guy, absurdly talented, and he seemed ready to sing. It's these parts he can come up with, these ways of double tracking, these really unusual harmonies - I could listen to Antony all day."

"I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen -- by any illiterate retard -- in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money."

"I like to think of us as Clearasil on the face of the nation. Jim Morrison would have said that if he was smart, but he's dead."

"There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out."

"Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony."

"I tried to give up drugs by drinking."

"I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine."

"If it has more than three chords, it's jazz."

"The first generation of CDs sounded terrible. Any chance to remaster would make the music sound better than what was already out there."

"Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful."

"There's only X amount of time. You can do whatever you want with that time. It's your time."

"You can't beat 2 guitars, bass, and drums."

"You can't ask me to explain the lyrics because I won't do it."

"How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?"

"Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat."

"I can't do anything I want to. I mean, I can't have my own TV show. I can't have my own movie. But within my little world, nobody tells me what to put on the albums."

"People think that I work out but it's all t'ai chi."

"I'm a humanist."
