The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.

I dont think there are any men who are faithful to their wives.

A great goal in life is the only fortune worth finding.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
