I always felt that making a living wasn't the easiest thing in the world, and I decided I was going straight ahead and try to be as uncomplicated as possible. The important thing in life is just living and loving.

If so many people love me, how come I'm alone?

If there is a heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.

I liked being married instead of the girl who's looking for a guy.

If I can do it, you can do it. Anybody can.

I've been through everything. I always said I was like those round-bottomed circus dolls — you know, those dolls you could push down and they'd come back up? I've always been like that. I've always said, No matter what happens, if I get pushed down, I'm going to come right back up.

I think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.
