Some memorable quotes from Maxine Gray.

Interior Decorator: Usually I’m so perceptive of people. Come on… what’s changed? 
Maxine: Two weeks ago my fiancée died of a heart attack 48 hours before we were to be wed. Also, I’ve cut my hair.

Board Member: We’re a little concerned that your director is a drug addict. 
Maxine: No, my director is a former drug addict. I myself am a former high school student, and everyone here used to poop in your pants. What’s your point? 

Maxine: Never wear fire for a hat… I haven’t any idea what it means. I read it in a bathroom stall once and it stuck with me. 

Maxine: By the way, I’m getting married a week from Saturday. I expect you to be there. 

Sean Potter: A week from Saturday? Maxine, why are you getting married a week from Saturday? 

Maxine: So I can have sex, Sean. Why else would anyone get married? 

Amy : [after being shouted out, Maxine rushes into the kitchen] Mom, are you OK? 
Maxine : [trying not to laugh] Of course, but I am 65 years old, and my boyfriend’s mother hates me 

Lauren Cassidy: What’s anorexia? 
Maxine: It’s a disease women get by reading magazines.

“You don’t wanna know what I think. Because what I think is that in a perfect world, I would send you two packing and put your daughter in a place where people know a child’s a gift. A gift! And one you don’t even have for long. And a little girl? A girl is a special gift. Because I don’t know if you’ve picked up on this, but girls have been undervalued in the history of this country, this civilization for that matter. They have been treated like decorations, objects, second class citizens. Yes, I have a daughter! And what I pray about day in and day out is how to prove to her that she has every right to stand up and be counted as a human being. And anyone who thinks of her as anything less is not even worth her time. Not even the space they take up on this planet.”

-I heart Bruce.

“My anger is ignited by men who beat children to death with extension cords, and women who plunge babies into scalding water so they’ll stop crying. My anger is ignited by fathers who rape their daughters, and pregnant women who take crack and drink alcohol without a thought for the tiny souls they are damning to a lifetime of pain. Babies in dumpsters, drug overdoses, burns, cuts, gunshot wounds, wasted minds and ruined lives. My anger is ignited by a society that pays lip service to its children while treating them as nothing more than a marketing demographic, and by schools that are falling apart and teachers so numbed by violence and fear that they’ve stopped teaching, but whats really pissing me off today is a room full of ‘supposed’ grownups who think that “bad drivers” and “loud talkers” and “hips” are worth getting angry about, when all the rest of that actual evil is loose in the world.”
