It's very expensive to be me. It's terrible the things I have to do to be me.

I just feel a connection with Marilyn Monroe. I just love her. I just completely feel what she went through.

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.

Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.

I couldn't make ends meet. I tried Red Lobster. I tried Wal-Mart. I tried all these places and I couldn't make it. I couldn't. So, I tried this gentlemen's club, and, you know, I worked there, and it was just awful in those places. It was terrible.

People are just so stupid.

I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe.
