The scandal happened and I made the best of it. I kind of feel like in the end it was a blessing.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

Jim Bakker is an extremely talented preacher, if he would just get it together.

Nobody would hire me for TV, not that they should.

I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people.

I believe in God, because he is the only thing that kept me going. He's my best friend.

Tammy Faye said, I am so happy that Jessica Hahn is so ugly, because now I don't feel so bad.

Tammy Faye, I really like the woman. I wanted to be her kid.

Your mind is like, oh my God, I know this is wrong, but your body just gives in.

I was green. All I knew was to walk my dog and go to church.

Tammy Faye, I pray for every day. I really liked her. I wanted to be in their family.

I'm a victim of maybe circumstances, but look at how it worked out.

I was actually very ugly. I was ugly. I felt very insecure.

Church is great, but I found my church here. Hugh Hefner has been nothing but a gentleman.

People will always consider me a cartoon character, a bimbo. They will never give me credit.

Billy Graham talks about how he doesn't judge people. I don't either. Some people I am just pissed at.

My first quote was, I don't want to hurt God's people. Jim Bakker's quote was, I was set up by a female.

They did is sent me down Clearwater, Florida, and they said to me, Jessica, I need you to make Jim Bakker feel better.

Many times, people attack the well-to-do people. They see an opportunity.

As God as my witness, they said, We're above the law. There's nothing you can do to us. You're just a church secretary.

The scandal happened and I made the best of it. I kind of feel like in the end it was a blessing.

If only Tammy knew how much I really cared about her. She has nothing to do with any of this mess.

I speak my mind. I just speak my heart. I will not turn away from any question.

What bothers me is that Jim Bakker lies. Jim Bakker knows for a fact that I was virgin.

Howard Stern was the only one that was able to get through to me.

Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.

Once my mom passed away, I have nobody to answer to. It's great.

My dad used to flush my mother's head down the toilet. I was so screwed up.

Jim Bakker came along. He said, Jessica Hahn, listen. You're a virgin. As God as my witness. He said, We need a girl that we can trust.

I think Jim got screwed. I think Jim Bakker would have been a great preacher. Jim Bakker was very good at what he did.

I was a virgin. People find that hard to believe, but when you're raised in a church, that was just the way it is.

I was a girl from Massapequa, New York. I grew up in Massapequa. I lived in a basement with one window.

I kept quiet for eight years. I did not want to hurt the church.

I kind of think I'm going to live a long life as a punishment.

I'd definitely pose nude again. No qualms. I actually had my breasts done again. Just updated, like new tires.

Michael Jackson asked me to sign a Playboy. I was more than happy to.

If he wants to blow his head off, let him. I don't give a damn about Jim Bakker.

Jim Bakker ripped off the bedspread and said, my wife doesn't make me feel like a man anymore.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end.

I don't write drafts. I write from the beginning to the end, and when it's finished, it's done.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

The difference between talking on your cell phone while driving and speaking with a passenger is huge. The person on the other end of the cell phone is chattering away, oblivious.

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.

The big battle at the end of DW isn't drawn from history, but it's influenced by history, certainly.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

I did know that the book would end with a mind-boggling trial, but I didn't know exactly how it would turn out. I like a little suspense when I am writing, too.
