I don't read anything about myself. As a child, there was something in me that was just instinctive. I want to be clear in my spirit, and I don't want to be blocked by things that get inside of you and kill you.

I love to decorate and redecorate. Now it's called interior design, but the term decorating is fine with me.

When anybody says, 'Why me?' Why is 'me' exempt?

I've had many, many loves. I always feel that something wonderful is going to happen. And it always does.

I don't categorize myself as an 85-year-old woman who has written an erotic novel. I categorize myself as a writer who's written an erotic novel.

I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about.

I think something wonderful is going to happen to me. Maybe tomorrow. The phone can ring and your whole life can change.
