“I’m a loner. I don’t like beautiful people, but I find beauty in the grotesque. And in the sweet soul inside someone who has been able to get through their life without being a rat’s ass. Such people should be collected, should be swept up immediately and kept in a box of broken people. I’ve collected people my whole life. Sometimes it ends badly, but it’s absolutely never on my part. Because I know how fabulous I am. You’re just going to have to take my word for it – I’m an incredible person. I do good deeds, and I love people, but the only way I can do these things is to stay apart. Because you can just stand so much. But the people who you meet in your life, who cross your path, the ones who are decent, should be collected.” – beautiful, wonderful, offbeat, brilliant, Oscar-nominated actress Susan Tyrrell, who died Sunday in Austin, Texas. She was 67 and had long suffered from a rare blood disease called essential thrombocythemia, which caused her to lose both legs in 2000 – but didn’t stop her actin. (via Dangerous Minds)
