They came and bound me up and I had awful stretch marks. I hated my breasts after that.

If I don't tell it all now, the story in the history books will always be imperfect and that would be wrong.

I'm terrified of men these days. If someone asked me out now, I don't know what I'd say, how I'd react. But I couldn't go through with it, not at all. I suppose I've been terrified of them all along.

It's been a misery for me, living with Christine Keeler.

Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy.

He had a way with him. Before you had a chance to say no, he was there and done. That only happened to me once before, with a duke, who literally swept me off my feet, and before I knew what was happening, we'd done it. Another terrible mistake.

We knew we were talking about spies. I knew he knew I knew. I was digging my own grave.

They wanted to hear about the sex, of course. But not the rest; no one wanted to hear the rest.

My mother used to go out on her own, and I used to have to keep a look out for my stepfather coming home.

They came and bound me up and I had awful stretch marks. I hated my breasts after that.

As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.

I don't know if he was the fourth man or the fifth, but he was certainly in the top 10.

I have always been free with my love - it is my nature. I am easily captivated by men and they have always been attracted to me.

I went out every single night so I was never alone with my stepfather. At 12, I stopped going on holiday with them. The times I was alone with him I always made sure I was all covered up.

Men, all men, were always trying to get hold of me, you know.

I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.

He's 85 and he's met another woman. Still, at 85, why ever not?

Even a criminal has the right to a new life, but they made sure I did not have that. They just didn't stop calling me a prostitute for ever and ever and ever and ever.

I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.

However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.

I took on the sins of everybody, of a generation, really.

One way of reading my life is that I have been in constant search for a father.

The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.

Bill Astor knew these papers were missing. Stephen showed his hand in October.

No one else knows the whole story. I was there. I lived through it.

Youve got to learn to leave the table when loves no longer being served.

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.

At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator.

The most basic job of an EMT is to notice things and then wonder about them.

I was a kid who would try anything, and I said, 'Sure, I'll try theater - sounds like fun.'

I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.

I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.

Subsisting on a diet drawn from one food group isn't healthy or gratifying. Even eating cupcakes 24/7 eventually would get old!

Growing up, my parents did everything they knew how to do to support me. My dad was always kinda my roadie; he drove me from gig to gig. But I got my own gigs. I was this 12-year-old kid, shuffling business cards, calling people, telling them I wanted to play.

Because we men have been physically stronger and more arrogant, we've influenced much of the cool stuff of the world, like basing the definition of courage on what we do on battlefields rather than on the patience or endurance or tolerance necessary for a sometimes painful daily grind that includes small children.

Unless things change radically, President Bush will be the first President since Herbert Hoover to have presided over a net loss of jobs during his administration.
