“I think like any marriage, especially when you’ve had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work.”

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I should never have played with fire and I did. And I got very burned.

I’d like to be queen of people’s hearts.

I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.

I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.

I love to hold people’s hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven’t experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.

You can’t do anything good that you don’t feel in your heart.

The worse illness of our time, is that so many people have to suffer from never being loved.

From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.

As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Death doesn’t frighten me.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.

You can’t comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable.

Yes, I do touch. I believe that everyone needs that.

I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my rather puritannical upbringing and beliefs. I always chose to think I was in love and that love was synonymous with marriage.

Marriage is two imperfect people committing themselves to a perfect institution, by making perfect vows from imperfect lips before a perfect God.

Marriage is a great institution.

Talk to each other. Never go to bed when you’re angry with each other. Lady Antonia Frasier who was married to Harold Pinter said they never went to bed on an argument.

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.

If we be doomed to marry, we marry; if we be doomed to remain single we do.

If two people want to get married, it’s their prerogative – we hope. Everybody should be able to do what they want to do and be in the pursuit of happiness.
