Quotes 

• Sally : It's the Second Law of Thermodynamics: sooner or later everything turns to shit. That's my phrasing, not the Encyclopedia Britannica.

• [On Gail, the woman she thinks her husband has been sleeping with] 

  Sally : What can I say? She's me, but she's younger.

• Sally : Fucking men! Woman gets to be over a certain age, it becomes a different ballgame.

  Paul : Oh, no, no -...

  Sally : Don't defend your sex! It's true! You're great 'til you start to show your age - then they want a newer model.

• [On finding out that her husband, with whom she separated recently, had been cheating on her] 

  Sally : It was a huge blow to my ego. You know, I thought he loved me, that, uh, that we were experimenting, you know.

  Interviewer : But if you had met someone first?

  Sally : [smiling]  Probably right. Probably would have done the same thing.

• Sally : I thought that I liked what Michael was doing to me, and it felt different from Jack; more gentle. And more exciting. And I thought how different Michael was from Jack. How much deeper his vision of life was. And I thought Michael was a hedgehog and Jack was a fox. And then I thought Judy was a fox and Gabe was a hedgehog. And I thought about all the people I knew, and which were hedgehogs and which were foxes. Al Simon, a friend, was a hedgehog, and his wife Jenny was a hedgehog. And Cindy Salkind was a fox. And Lou Patrino was a hedgehog.

• Sally : Don't not support us!
