People were referring to me as the new Anita Bryant. Anita would get a little jealous.

To this day I do not believe I'm great at anything.

I think when you've gone through a betrayal in life then when somebody's been betrayed you can talk to the person about it. If your husband's been unfaithful to you, you know what that's like, you know how that feels. You can share true empathy with someone.

I sang with Anita Bryant in the Southern Baptist churches.

I would never want to hurt anyone by writing a book.

No wonder women have achieved a more equal footing with men in areas they never fought for -- ulcers, hypertension, and heart attacks. We're racing around trying to be all things to all people, burdened by a brutal mix of ambition, anxiety, and guilt.
