To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.

Men go after me, and I choose among them.

I don't look upon my divorces as mistakes. Those marriages were right for the Bess that made that decision at that time.

I've lived through a lifetime of crises and survived.

To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.

I'm like a phoenix. I rise from the ashes.

You've got to love people, places, ideas; you've got to live with mind, body, soul; you've got to be committed; there is no life on the side-lines.
