37 Quotes by Tatum O'Neal

I was punished for blowing the whistle on my father’s lifestyle.

I have a temper, but I wouldn’t call me abusive.

I’ve purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

I’ve overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.

I’ve overcome physical and mental brutality – and fought back.

I think all of us feel like we’re a bit on show, all the time.
