I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

She was a great lady. We raised three boys, were together as long as she lived, and now she's passed on.

After my mom died, there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that, and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing, her real intellectual curiosity.

I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.

Jackie Kennedy was magnificent in the days and weeks immediately following her husband's assassination. She was especially wonderful to me.

I admire those women who really knew who they were and didn't apologize for it. Katharine Hepburn? She was ahead of her time.

The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I'll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.

I think I would have died if there hadn't been the women's movement.

It's every woman's tragedy, that, after a certain age, she looks like a female impersonator. Mind you, we've known some lovely female impersonators, in our time.

I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s.
