So on May 1, 1987, at Gary's invitation, I agreed to see him one last time - to confront him face-to-face about his sincerity and with the intention of ending our brief relationship.

Although I'd first seen Senator Hart in Aspen, Colorado, at a New Year's Day party in 1987, we hadn't talked.

I was always an overachiever.

In my case, I learned that although God loves us, he doesn't grant us immunity from the consequences of our choices.

Returning to South Carolina meant getting a normal job in a normal town with normal people and marrying a normal person. I wanted the glamour and opportunity of the world.

Since it was too difficult to get into the Screen Actor's Guild in New York, I moved to Miami in 1982 and started a successful career as a television commercial actress, obtaining my SAG card there.

I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.

It was hard to turn down the money since I didn't have a job, but I didn't want to exploit my notoriety because I knew the way I'd been living was wrong.

At thirteen I began modeling, doing my first television commercial in ninth grade for Pizza Hut.

Before the group left, Gary asked for my phone number, and the next day he called to ask me to dinner that night. I had no idea he was married, but I found out that night.

I'm stronger knowing that while Donna Rice could be sold, she could not be bought.

There is no truth without faith. Nothing is proven except to the heart of one who believes.

I thought buying at the local market would be an excellent way to build positive relationships with the local villagers.

Attitude doesn't always mean its a bad thingthis what makes your personality

Transformation also means looking for ways to stop pushing yourself so hard professionally or inviting so much stress.

Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.

What I invite people to do is to look at their lives just the way that they have lived them. Not to change anything, and not to do positive thinking at all.

I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I'm constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes.

I went to see 'Listen to My Heart: The Songs of David Friedman.' I have been a fan of his music for years, and I was invited to opening night because I know one of the producers.

Separately they had different strengths. Together they were complete.

Go down where all life begins, go down that's where my love is.
