“I'm from New York; I've been in show business all my life. I'm a wild ...” — Bonnie Bedelia Quote

“I'm from New York; I've been in show business all my life. I'm a wild and crazy gal, yet I always play these soft, warm, loving earth mothers. It's a pain in the butt. I'm a femme fatale!”

“Unless you burst into movies as a sex goddess, you're likely to play wives and mothers. I came into movies as a teenager in 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They' (1969) playing a pregnant waif from the Ozarks. I didn't get a chance to burst into movies in 'Body Heat.' My career isn't based on having a 23-inch waist and a big bust, though I do.”

“All my life, people have been telling me what to do. I'm tired of it. My private life has become an industry.”

“I've been coaching all my life.”

“All my life in professional baseball, people said 'He could be better.'”
