Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?'

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case the thought is staggering.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front there with the screen so big a little kid all alone and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

The lonely become either thoughtful or empty.

I was drafted into the Army when I was 19 and came out at age 22. Most people that I knew didn't think they'd come home alive. I didn't think I would either so I was happy when I did.

I've had two romances since moving to Las Vegas. One was with somebody 12 years older than me and the other was the same age and neither worked out. I know people still think of me as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and he of course was much older than me but that was a whole different lifestyle and a different kind of dating.

We can no longer waste time and money. Every day more than 2 000 girls in America age 15-19 give birth - in the wealthiest most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.

America doesn't reward people of my age either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
