"I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him."

"It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and politics in America than in Europe."

"It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy."

"The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year."

"To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty."
