I have never wanted to be a queen! Cleopatra was a role, and I am an actor, so it was fun to play one, but it's not real.

It's not the having, it's the getting.

Follow your passions, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.

The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.

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.

Acting is fun. It's not my whole life. It's not my entire being. It's secondary to my life. My life is primary. I'm running in the primary, as you know.

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