Girl, Interrupted (film) Quotes

Brittany Murphy as Daisy

• (Brittany Murphy) "You're just jealous, Lisa -- because I got better -- because I was released -- because I have a chance -- at a life."
• (Robin Reck) "They didn't release you 'cause you're better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking Daddy's money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks -- and eatin' his f***in' chicken, fattening up like a prize f***in' heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the f***ing situation; and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. That he f***s you. What they don't know -- is that you like it. Hmm? You like it."

Everyone would hug her and kiss her and love her and no one would ever know what was in that big ol' head of hers, you know?"

• (Unnamed) "Hey, I remember you. Where are you going?"
• (Winona Ryder) "Seventeen Burling Game."
• (Unnamed) "Alright --"
• (Winona Ryder) "Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you, or me, amplified. If you ever told a lie, and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child, forever.
