I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.

For some reason, 1968 is a touchstone year for me. I think it was the first year I felt fully conscious.

Just think, if I had understood my lawyer and if he and I had communicated properly in January 1958, this whole history would have been entirely different .

I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.

Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.

Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.

I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later.

I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.

I just can't believe all the things I did that decade.
