I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.

All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.

The things that are important to me - being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist - are all things that were borne out of great passion.

I know I'm vulgar, but would you have me any other way?

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

I've always preferred animals to little girls or boys. I had my first horse - actually it was a Newfoundland pony - when I was three, and I loved riding, without anyone shackling me - riding bareback as fast as I could.

It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of ignorance.
