Stella Stevens movie quotes

“I did the best I could with the tools I had and the opportunities given me. My life was screwed up early by getting pregnant at 15 and married, then a baby at 16, then divorced at 17. But in spite of that start, I've done all right.”
Stella Stevens

“- Buddy Love: I know what you're thinking: Where's he been all my life? Right?
- Stella Purdy: No, not exactly.
- Buddy Love: And that you're happy with the way I handled those three goons, right? Well, normally I would've belted them, but I didn't want to muss myself all up and have you dance with a sloppy guy. Dig?”

“It's been my heart's desire to direct since I started doing movies. I directed two films in the '70s and '80s. One was a feature-length documentary. But I've still not made my debut with a big film.”
Stella Stevens

"It's Halloween, it's prom night, there's a psycho loose, so don't open the door, don't answer the phone, don't look in the attic, don't go to the bathroom, don't go into the ocean, and don't go into space 'cause no one can hear you scream. Signed, a friend".

“- Dick Harbinger: It's about your daughter.
- Mrs. Doctor Graves: What about her?
- Dick Harbinger: I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll have to be blunt. Pam's been murdered. And the other daughter, Mary, she saw the whole thing. She's bound to be screwed up by the terrible images she must carry with her for the rest of her life.”
Joe Don Baker - Dick Harbinger
