I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.

When I was thirty and perhaps forty, I did not want a wife. It was too much fun being single.

I realized I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down.

I don't want to go into a marriage just because of my age - too many people make that mistake. But of course I'd like to be married one day - I dream of having children because I adore kids so, so much.

I made the conscious decision to not have kids, and I didn't want to be married.

For so many generations, a woman's only career path was to marry well and to marry up. Those days have changed.

In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.

I was 36 when I got married. I was so focused on, 'You wanted a husband, and you wanted a house, and you wanted children.' I've had all those things now.
