Mercedes McCambridge
  • I can choose to accelerate my disease to an alcoholic death or incurable insanity, or I can choose to live within my thoroughly human condition.

  • I've always had bronchitis. I've been administered the Sacrament of Death three times for it.

  • I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.

  • My second marriage had a lot to do with alcohol.

  • Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time.
