I knew what I wanted to do even when I was a little girl.

I think for a long time people just did not know what to do with me. I looked like a Barbie doll and then I had this voice like I spend my life in a bar, and I said things that were alarming and had ideas that didn't make sense.

The doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.

Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you can slip into the Ladies for a read.

All you have to do is wear a hat, dark glasses and carry a Greek newspaper.

I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

I think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts and midsection get very bloated.
