I am just so happy and thrilled and I am so glad Mr. Hefner chose me.

Vickie Lynn Hogan is my birth certificate's name.

I am just so happy and thrilled and I am so glad Mr. Hefner chose me.

I just feel a connection with Marilyn Monroe. I just love her. I just completely feel what she went through.

I was 23, and he was 86. I saw a very sick man. I just wanted to just talk with him. There was no physical attraction at all. He was very much attracted to me.

I have been alone since my husband died. I stay in my home. I don't date. It's hard to date when you're at home. Nobody knows you.

Living in a small town, I knew everybody and everybody knew me.

Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.

It's very expensive to be me. It's terrible the things I have to do to be me.

I did Playboy. There was an ad in the paper for playmates. Playboy called me and flew me to Los Angeles, and I was on the March cover of 1992.

If I have another child, I doubt I'll get married again. I don't think men particularly want to be with me.

I'm going to fight until the end. My husband is worth it. He wanted me to have it. He was worth a lot. He was a very, very wealthy man.

I wanted to become a model and an actress.

I don't drink as much as I use to could.

I don't have a boyfriend right now. I'm looking for anyone with a job that I don't have to support.

I never thought to ever ask for money. I was so stupid.

People are just so stupid.

Men don't even ask me out. I can't remember the last time I was asked out on a date, and I'm talking years here. I spend my life more and more alone.

I don't understand why God took him and didn't take me.

You never know if they like you for who you are or what you are. Would he love me or the money?

'Anna Nicole' came from Guess Jeans; Paul Marciano and me and one of his friends, we were sitting around coming up with a stage name, and that's where that came from.

For some reason, people think I am this terrible person and it really hurts me to hear that. I am just doing the best I know how to.

I couldn't make ends meet. I tried Red Lobster. I tried Wal-Mart. I tried all these places and I couldn't make it. I couldn't. So, I tried this gentlemen's club, and, you know, I worked there, and it was just awful in those places. It was terrible.

I don't date. It's hard to date when you're at home. Because nobody knows you.

I just know I'm going to be an actress. I want it so bad.

I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe.

One thing about living in a small town, I knew everybody and everybody knew me.

Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.

The moss sits hedgehog-like on the stone, softly hibernating, gently green. Kelsey plucks it, surprised by the wetness that remains from the morning rain when every other thing has been dried by the sun.

I would serve a selection of cakes, scones, and small sandwiches for afternoon tea. High tea is usually served between 5 P.M. and 6 P.M., replacing an evening meal - it is more substantial.

You will be lonely, but you'll become strong.

Caregiving has no second agendas or hidden motives. The care is given from love for the joy of giving without expectation, no strings attached.

Don't be scared to be intelligent. Knowledge is sexy and powerful.

One thing that has made us so successful is that we've never taken outside investment. That means we can concentrate on what our customers want - not what the stockholders or the VCs want.

Conscience is a man's compass.

I really hate to be put in the position of trying to justify something, a decision that was made. I'm a military guy: when a decision is made, I go along with it, whatever the manufactured controversy and criticism.

Write relentlessly, until you find your voice. Then, use it.

In terms of work, obviously acting is such a job that is very in the flesh kind of thing. It's your work, but it's your life, in a way. You can get so mixed up.

If you want to know if your food contains gluten, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats or MSG, you simply read the ingredients listed on the label.

There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable. When you're not doing what you're used to, you could completely fall on your face. You could completely blow it.

I don't have any formula. I just work with my heart, putting in a lot of hard work.

When I see kids standing next to their mothers at book signings, clutching a copy of 'Forever,' I know what's coming. They'll say to me, 'How old do I have to be to read this?' hoping I'll give them permission. But I can't do that.

At Swarthmore, the Dean of Women was very opposed to women going into science or engineering - so opposed that if she couldn't talk a girl out of it, she just never had anything more to do with her for the four years she was there.

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher did more to liberate people by defeating the Soviet Union and freeing eastern Europe than the Obamas, the Clintons, and Kerrys of this world ever have. They were all on the wrong side of that debate.

I am still a Republican. I have not changed that.

I have always believed that the aristocracy of any country should be the men who have succeeded - the men who have aided in upbuilding their country - the men who have contributed to the efficiency and happiness of their fellow men.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

What the advertisers are trying to do by eliminating residuals is the most appalling form of greed that I cry thinking about it.

To me, Batman is definately Bruce Wayne's darker side. The challenge is playing it as two separate aspects of the same person. I have to create the illusion of a Dark Knight, who's mysterious and strong.
