    • Holly Hunter: I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient. But it's possible to confuse tolerance and patience with shameful compromise, where you're letting something happen that's a violation of yourself, where you're deceiving yourself and saying, "I will put up with this, because, hey, we're all human and I understand."
    • Holly Hunter: Little kids would come over, and dad would give them one. He used to give them to just his own kids -- he couldn't afford to give them to all kids.
    • Holly Hunter: They used to just give them to their own kids. Dad was a big joker when we were young. I found money in my nuts.
