    "You’re looking at me as if…to tell me that I need you to fill me up, as if I’m an empty space. Well, I love you too, but what makes me go on is to know he’ll return, and I’ll make him suffer, and…I’ll hurt him, and I’m betraying him, but this brings me small rewards. Well, but yet…I can’t exist by myself because I’m afraid of myself. Because I’m the maker of my own evil!… Goodness is only some…

    There are few films that are preceded by their own reputation as much as The Exorcist is, but it's there every time you watch it. Whether it's your first viewing or your hundredth, you can't ignore the pop culture history of it sitting right next to you, pea soup vomit and all.

    Maria Schneider:

    "I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script, but at the time, I didn't know that. Marlon said to me: 'Maria, don't worry, it's just a movie,' but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears.
