I make bad choices. I've got such dodgy tastes in men.

I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.

I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.

How rude would I be, walking around and saying: 'Hello. I'm Eleanor Mondale. My father was vice president of the United States. Treat me differently.

When you're nearing 35, going, 'Hey Dad, I can't make these payments,' just isn't cool.

There was a point when I almost gave up. I couldn't feed myself. I couldn't feed my pets.

The biggest hurdle is figuring out who your friends are. Your real friends.
