I was a shy ugly kid who led a big fantasy life. I thought I was an angel sent from heaven, to cure polio. When Dr. Salk did that I was really pissed off.

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

Going hungry never bothered me - it was having no clothes.

My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She'd buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable.

It’s not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It’s not the end-all, be-all of my life.

You know, honey, husbands come and go but I'm still Cher at the end of the day.
