I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not.

Now is the time for guts and guile.

You can't cry on a diamond's shoulder, and diamonds won't keep you warm at night, but they're sure fun when the sun shines.

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.

I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.

I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.

I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife.
