There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.

To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.

Is there anything more important than a child?

When the chips are down, you are alone, and loneliness can be terrifying. Fortunately, I've always had a chum I could call. And I love to be alone. It doesn't bother me one bit. I’m my own company.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime.

Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does. I have been made terribly aware of how everything can be wrenched away from you and your life torn apart. If I had known very secure nights all my life, if I had never seen or felt the fear of being tortured or deported or blown up into a million pieces, then I would not fear it.
