My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.

Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.

Let's just say that where a change was required, I adjusted. In every relationship that exists, people have to seek a way to survive. If you really care about the person, you do what's necessary, or that's the end. For the first time, I found that I really could change, and the qualities I most admired in myself I gave up. I stopped being loud and bossy... Oh, all right. I was still loud and bossy, but only behind his back.

I was fearless...and lawless.
