Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.

I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.

I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.

Hope & curiosity about the future seemed better than guarantees. The unknown was always so attractive to me...and still is.

I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick.

I have never liked bargains when it came to sex.

I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
