I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

My children forgave me at a time when I could barely forgive myself.

Certain struggles never end.

When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.

Things get so sloppy when you're under the influence.

I think all of us feel like we're a bit on show, all the time.

As Peter Bogdanovich would say of Paper Moon: Ryan's wonderful in it, and he sat there and watched the kid steal the picture.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

I've stood my ground in life, alone, even against overwhelming forces with the might and money to crush me.

I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.

Griffin, my brother, 11 months younger, was sometimes the victim of my father's fury - once Ryan famously knocked out his teeth.

Ryan is my bridge to the past, to memories that lose some of their sting when he recounts them.

Ryan finally came to my rescue. He'd thought working together in Paper Moon would help us bond.

I was punished for blowing the whistle on my father's lifestyle.

I felt privileged to be a facet of such a jewel in the crown of American cinema.

Paper Moon didn't bring me love.

I've triumphed over addiction.

I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.

I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.

The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.

I do take responsibility for it. I admit to having a problem. I have been to numerous treatment centers.

I have a temper, but I wouldn't call me abusive.

Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.

I remained Ryan's companion on the Hollywood party circuit, growing inured to sex and drugs before I was in my teens.

I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace.

Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.

There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.

Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.

The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.

I'm an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.

Expressing anger is a form of public littering.

Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Anger cannot be dishonest.

The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.

When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression, we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like, you're not gonna pull one over on me - which is pretty much my motto anyways.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.

I love each and every one of you but, like my own family, you thrill, you frustrate, you anger.

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.

Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.

I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.

In the final analysis, the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.

The world in general doesn't know what to make of originality; it is startled out of its comfortable habits of thought, and its first reaction is one of anger.
