I can't eat more than six hundred dollars worth of food.

Nobody has ever respected me and done things for me and loved me. So when Howard (former husband J. Howard Marshall II) came along, it was a blessing. He is the only person in my life who does not care about what other people say about me. He truly loves me and I love him for it.

If I have another child, I doubt I'll get married again. I don't think men particularly want to be with me.

I never thought to ever ask for money. I was so stupid.

He's comming to meet me on Sun. Cant wait!!... Please God let him love me!!... This could be it [followed by five happy faces].... Hes going to publish my pictures Im so glad I didn't sleep with him either!... I hate for men to want sex all the time. I hate sex anyway. (1992, diary entry as she prepares for a meeting with Paul Marciano, head of Guess.)

Living in a small town, I knew everybody and everybody knew me.

I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe and find my own Clark Gable.
