I'm just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won't take me because he knows I don't want to go.

I'm one Pia Zadora, the same way all the time. That's why I'm happy. It took me a long time to get to the point where could be myself all the time.

Because a lot of straight people think I'm nuts.

I love John Waters. You see, I want to be the next Divine.

But there's not enough time in life to go sit at a party, have a drink, and make idle conversation. There's too many important things to do. Just being together with my husband, spending time alone, which I have very little of.

The thing you do is escape from them by immersing myself in the character you're playing.

Butterfly was certainly a vehicle for me, and if it died, it still would have served its purpose, in spades. We never expected it to give me the visibility it has given me. It was just a small thing as a vehicle, and suddenly the whole world knew about it.

I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.

I have a funny name.

Then I went through a whole bunch of crap with my lousy movies and pop records. I had people behind me kind of steering me in that direction, but it wasn't really my bag.

And I like the way Cain writes his women. Very strong. They're kind of lusty, they know what they want, they're full of conviction. Cain's women are sexual.

I don't like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot.

I don't consider myself a sex symbol.

I'm gonna give them the advice that I always took myself, that it's better to get to know somebody before you jump into the sack with them. Because then if you jump into the sack and fall in love, and you liked them already, you're home free.

The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up.

I'm just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won't take me because he knows I don't want to go.

The future comes quickly. Before you know it, you turn around and it's tomorrow.

Basically, I'm a romantic.

In a way, my past gives me a little credibility. Not that anybody cares what I did nineteen years ago, but I did have a career, and a legitimate one, before I met my husband.

You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping.

Film, I think, is my medium.

If you have a guy like Jermaine, it's a pain in the neck. When we were on the road together in Europe, Jesus, I had to kick the girls off of him. I mean, they throw themselves on the floor and take off their hats.

When I was 21 I stopped and got married. I tried for a while to be the perfect wife, society this, society that but it wasn't working, so after about a year I went back to work.

You know, it's not the people in Hollywood who go to see movies that will make a movie successful; it's the people all around the country; it's word-of-mouth.

I like to see love stories: romantic comedy or romantic drama.

A lot of straight people think I'm nuts.

This is how psychiatry has functioned-as a kind of property arm of the government, who can put you away if your husband doesn't like you.

A good husband makes a good wife.

It's always been really important for me to try to maintain a balanced life, professional and personal, and this was absolutely something that my husband and I had hoped for.

I have finally become a husband and I am genuinely enjoying every moment of it.

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.

I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.

An ideal wife is any woman who has an ideal husband.

Nobody teaches you to be a father. Nobody teaches you to be a husband. Nobody teaches you how to be a star. You have to learn to work with the tools.

A true king is neither husband nor father; he considers his throne and nothing else.

Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, It is not good for a woman to live alone.

My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives.

But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?

Personally, I can't see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.

I don't sit around thinking that I'd like to have another husband; only another man would make me think that way.

And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.

If a woman earned a dollar by scrubbing, her husband had a right to take the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar.

I'm not resigning, and I'm going to try very hard to go back to work a better man and a better husband too.

Again, I shall be told that the law presumes the husband to be kind, affectionate, and ready to provide for and protect his wife. But what right, I ask, has the law to presume at all on the subject?

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love.

I know who I am as a person, as a father, and as a husband.

Donald, my husband, considers himself a feminist.

Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.

My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.
