While in El Paso, I met Mr. Clinton Burk, a native of Texas, who I married in August 1885.

When I joined Custer I donned the uniform of a soldier. It was a bit awkward at first but I soon got to be perfectly at home in men's clothes.

During the fall and winter we built Fort Meade and the town of Sturgis.

Left the ranch in 1883, went to California, going through the States and territories, reached Ogden the latter part of 1883, and San Francisco in 1884.

We were ordered out to quell an uprising of the Indians, and were out for several days, had numerous skirmishes during which six of the soldiers were killed and several severely wounded.

I was in Deadwood at the time and on hearing of the killing made my way at once to the scene of the shooting and found that my friend had been killed by McCall.

It was considered the most dangerous route in the Hills, but as my reputation as a rider and quick shot was well known, I was molested very little, for the toll gatherers looked on me as being a good fellow, and they knew that I never missed my mark.

I left Montana in Spring of 1866, for Utah, arriving at Salt Lake city during the summer.

By the time we reached Virginia City I was considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age.

As many of the riders before me had been held up and robbed of their packages, mail and money that they carried, for that was the only means of getting mail and money between these points.

While in El Paso, I met Mr. Clinton Burk, a native of Texas, who I married in August 1885.

We remained in Texas leading a quiet home life until 1889.

On October 28th, 1887, I became the mother of a girl baby, the very image of its father, at least that is what he said, but who has the temper of its mother.

I'm a straight shooter, and most of the time my ego doesn't interrupt my relationships.

Arthur is my middle name; George is my dad's middle name.

Death penalty is the number one killer of killers.

I just gotta keep reminding myself: Every time I do an interview or something, my volition really has to be just to serve, to help people. Not to feel like I'm important.

I can hide, and my husband's just terrible at finding me. I do like to jump out from behind doors and scare him.

Crime butchers innocence to secure a throne, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime.

When I found out I had cancer, I just said one thing: 'I want to hold on to life' and that changed everything for me.

Even if you overcome a tremendous challenge and feel the personal victory, it's simply not powerful enough. It may activate your left brain, which says, 'I have achieved,' but it will not activate your more social right brain, which desperately desires to say, 'Look, Ma, I did it!'

I think if a woman is feeling aggressive, she should be aggressive and not hold back.

Way back in the '70s, I was approached to talk about the story I'd write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when.

I feel lucky to be in whatever I'm in. I feel lucky to be working.

I don't need material things like gold and platinum records on my wall, Grammys or Hall Of Fame nods.

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

Tennis players are very fortunate that unlike some disciplines of sport, in mega-sporting events like the Grand Slams, they have a huge platform to showcase their talents on the world stage once every few months.

The funny thing is all these school shootings that we have, always happen in very religious communities. Maybe it's because the centre of their lives is a big fat nothing and it's just a fantasy and there's nothing there. I think maybe that might have something to do with it.

I don't prepare for my roles. I don't watch movies to get inspired. I don't dig deep. I'll never be that type of actor, and I doubt that I ever will be.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

I started playing guitar back in '56. I was a teenager, and guitars had just come in, and I had a thing for it and got one. Started learning lead breaks from songs, because that was the easiest thing to do at the time. I had the guitar for two years before I learned any chords. Really.

I see the beard and cloak, but I don't yet see a philosopher.

Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.

The perfect time to start something never arrives START NOW!

I think the last thing you want to do as a writer, as a storyteller, is to create indifference. I don't necessarily go out of my way to provoke, but I would much rather have a song that triggers a whole myriad of reactions than a song that inspires a shrug of the shoulder.

When downed American pilots were first taken prisoner in North Vietnam in 1964, U.S. policy became pretty much to ignore them - part and parcel of President Lyndon B. Johnson's determination to keep the costs of his increasingly futile military escalation in Southeast Asia from the public.

I'm completely lacking any sense of religious belief, but I am superstitious.
