Quotes by Julie Hecht (?)

“Then he closed his eyes and said grace silently. I noticed that any meal set before Andy was given respect. Dinners in diners--frozen shrimp with canned tomato sauce, canned vegetables, salads made with the worst part of the lettuce. And then chocolate and vanilla ice cream for dessert. "I'll pay extra for it if I have to," Andy said to the waitress.”
― Julie Hecht, Was This Man a Genius?: Talks With Andy Kaufman

“That's the secret of life--by the time you know, it's too late.”

“I'd never thought of that. I forgot that things can get better. I thought things could only get worse. This is why it's important to go out into the world and not stay alone with ponds. People tell you things.”
― Julie Hecht, Do the Windows Open?
