I wanted to become a model and an actress.

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.

'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.

You've gotten words about those American and Iraqi deaths and mutilations, but precious few images.

I like being pushed.

I'm not a politician. I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a country boy.

In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.

I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

I feel like I'm going backwards, actually, as I get older. I'm regressing. I feel more and more like a kid, which is kind of a fun feeling.
