Quotes

The cheese board is my big treat at Christmas that I have to deny myself during the rest of year.

I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest, but when they told me I could never have sex, not even on my birthday, I changed my mind.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.
