I'm going to be 58, and I'm a woman. In this business, that seems to be a bigger crime than being mentally ill.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Award that I received for women's rights activities is one I treasure.

I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination.

I can't even remember how many times I tried to kill myself.

At the age of 19, I removed myself from society for almost four months, setting off years of manic episodes, including outrageous overspending. I bought several Mercedes because I thought I could. I had no money, but I rented a jet.

I've survived. I've beaten my own bad system, and on some days, on most days, that feels like a miracle.

Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called Life.

If stars behave in an erratic fashion, it's called 'colorful,' as opposed to, 'Well, maybe there's a problem there.'

I have two books that were published quite some time ago. I start to read about three sentences. I have to close it. I am so self-conscious. Who did I think I was?

I worshipped my father.
