For the first time, I lived alone... in a luxury apartment on Sunset Strip. For a few days I loved the idea, but I got lonely and restless.
From Patty Duke
I had been very close to Anne Bancroft when we worked together in The Miracle Worker.
I'm not sure I want all my neuroses cleared up.
I've come to believe that whoever I am didn't start on December 14, 1946, and isn't going to end on whatever that mysterious date is in the future.
If I have any message for others, it is to go for help early and not to be a resistant patient.
We have developed this unbelievable ability to deny. We have to. If we didn't, we'd go crazy.
I can't even remember how many times I tried to kill myself.
I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination.
I have two books that were published quite some time ago. I start to read about three sentences. I have to close it. I am so self-conscious. Who did I think I was?
I'm going to be 58, and I'm a woman. In this business, that seems to be a bigger crime than being mentally ill.
