- Harry Reems: I lost my home, I lost my friends... I was actually reduced to panhandling on Sunset Blvd.
- Mary Carey: [When asked who starred in "Deep Throat"] It was ah, ah, that woman that just died.
- Harry Reems: The last few movies I did, I could even stand up... I was so drunk I did 'em sitting down... just sitting and doing dialog... I would get drunk, show up, work, someone would take me home and I'd drink some more... It was a blur, it was all a blur.
