In my long and colorful career, one thing stands out: I have been misunderstood.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

There are no good girls gone wrong - just bad girls found out.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Men are like linoleum floors. Lay 'em right and you can walk all over them for years.

I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit.

Women are like roads. The more curves they have, the more dangerous they are.

What a waste of time to be posthumously famous.

You gotta eat lightning and crap thunder!

Life is about coming to terms with the mistakes made. Learning to live with them even when they cut soul deep.

Ye marshes, how candid and simple and nothing-withholding and free, Ye publish yourselves to the sky and offer yourselves to the sea.
