There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing.

If I fell into one relationship after another with men who were either emotionally tuned out and unavailable or hotheaded and controlling, or both, it was because I was lacking in good sense about men.

I wanted a relationship like the one my mother and father had. It wasn't perfect; they had to work on it. But there was an unbelievable mutual respect.

Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.

I got off on the fact that a guy would be so into me from the get-go without really knowing me. That's probably why I had so many bad relationships.

I dated dozens of young men, had fun with all, made commitments to none.

I had very steady and formal relationships with women. And I can say, I fell in love with women and it felt right.

Really, in a way, I took over the male role.
