I act this way because that's the way I feel like acting. If people like it, fine. If they don't, that's their problem. - Edie Sedgwick

I made a mask out of my face because I didn't realize I was quite beautiful. God blessed me so. I practically destroyed it. I had to wear heavy black eyelashes like bat wings, and dark lines under my eyes, and cut all my hair off, my long dark hair. Cut it off and strip it silver and blonde. All those little maneuvers I did out of things that were happening in my life that upset me.

The real Edie is where the action is. Fast cars, fast horses, and people doing things!

Isn't that sad! I'm so fragile. It's tragic [laughs]. Can you believe it? That's so sad.
