I was looking very much for a career. My second marriage to Stan Herman had ended, and I wanted very much to be independent, not take alimony from him, be on my own, do the right thing.

I no longer need to be someone's wife. I'm doing okay as I am.

It doesn't matter if I don't succeed in something, what matters is that I learn from my mistakes.

I played with dolls until I was 15. My mother encouraged it because my older sister got married when she was 15, so Mom thought that the longer I stayed with dolls, the better.

I wanted to be able to go shopping without people looking to see if I really was one of the world's 10 most beautiful women. I longed to be myself.

I didn't want to make a man the No. 1 quest in my life.
