Quotes :
- "I didn't handle (celebrity) as gracefully as I would have liked. I don't know how you can. Every time I walked out the door I was on the cover of the New York Post."
- "I will not remarry. I'm so grateful for the marriages that I have had. I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't had those. I've had four amazing men in my life, very strong, powerful, wonderful men. I certainly will have a relationship with someone but I don't think I will get married again."
- "Being in the public eye, I have certainly gone through the tabloid situation where they come out with stories that are not true. I don't read or pay attention to it. The only thing that I can do is know that I have great confidence in raising children and being a great mother."
- "What if I want to be taken seriously? There's a Farrah Doll, but there's no Phyllis George Doll."
