- Bobby Driscoll: (Standing before a California judge in 1961 on his drug addiction) I had everything. I was earning more than $50,000 a year, working steadily with good parts. Then I started putting all my spare time in my arm. I'm not really sure why I started using narcotics. I was 17 when I first experimented with the stuff. In no time at all I was using whatever was available, mostly heroin, because I had the money to pay for it.

- Bobby Driscoll: (on his adolescence) I really feared people. The other kids didn't accept me. They treated me as one apart. I tried desperately to be one of the gang. When they rejected me, I fought back, became belligerent and cocky and was afraid all the time.

- Bobby Driscoll: (on his rise and fall in Hollywood) I have found that memories are not very useful. I was carried on a silver platter and then dumped into the garbage can.
