Never practice two vices at once.

Here's a rule I recommend Never practice two vices at once.

They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.

Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.

I’ll come and make love to you at five o’clock. If I’m late, start without me.

Codeine . . . bourbon.

It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

I read Shakespeare and the Bible and I can shoot dice. That’s what I call a liberal education.

I’m as pure as the driven slush.

Cocaine habit-forming? Of course not. I ought to know. I’ve been using it for years.
