Quotes 

  • Julie : Half the time I regret it.

    Jamie : Then why do you do it?

    Julie : Because half the time I dont regret it.

  • Julie : I think being strong is the most important quality. It's not being vulnerable, it's not being sensitive. It's not even. Honestly, it's not even being happy. It's about strength and your durability against the other emotions.

  • Julie : Don't you need a man to raise a man?

    Dorothea : No, I don't think so.

  • Jamie : I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea : In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie : Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie : I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William : I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie : My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Julie : Love is supposed to be a feeling that you feel.People say that they're falling in love, but they're not actually falling in love.It's a fake connection that you feel with someone and marriage should never happen.

  • Julie : [talking about the cigarettes]  Can I have one?

    Dorothea : No, they're really bad for you.

    Julie : You smoke all the time.

    Dorothea : You know when I started, they weren't bad for you, they were just stylish, sort of edgy, so... It's different for me.

  • Jamie : What's it like? For girls.

    Julie : What? Sex?

    Jamie : Orgasms.

    Julie : Do you really wanna know what it's like?

    Jamie : Yeah.

    Julie : I don't have them.

  • Julie : I think that I'm too close to you... to have sex with you.

  • Julie : I don't wanna just have sex with you.I want you.But it's your version of me.It's not me.It would be a lot better if you just wanted sex.You are exactly like the other guys.You just seem like you're all modern.

  • Julie : Home birth actually stunts the baby's growth personality.
