I wanted to be able to go shopping without people looking to see if I really was one of the world`s 10 most beautiful women. I longed to be myself.

I played with dolls until I was 15. My mother encouraged it because my older sister got married when she was 15, so Mom thought that the longer I stayed with dolls, the better.

After "Dynasty" (1981), I wanted a reality check. I wanted to get in touch with real life, you know? That kind of world is kind of outrageous.

Nobody`s got it made. Nobody, no matter what they look like.

I was born in Connecticut. But my parents brought my sister and I to L.A. when-Hollywood, actually, when i was 6 months old.

If there`s no inner peace, people can`t give it to you. The husband can`t give it to you. Your children can`t give it to you. You have to give it to you.

I have had work done.

You can take Elvis. You can take Marilyn Monroe. Success and fame will not be the answer if something inside of you is bothering you, if things in your mind aren`t going right.

I always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth, of course, and looked for my own Prince Charming.

Money to me is just the biggest blessing in the world that allows me freedom.

I never saved my money. Whenever I worked in the past, I would spend it on my family or my husbands.

I`m not obsessed by how I look or with being reed thin, but I do think that as a woman in my 50s, I have 40 years ahead. Looking after yourself goes hand in hand with looking good.

I no longer need to be someone`s wife. I`m doing okay as I am.

Aaron Spelling went further than anyone has ever gone for television.

I didn`t want to make a man the No. 1 quest in my life.

All my life I kind of had the strangest career because whenever I fell in love, I stopped working.

Right after Dynasty ended I had a facelift and laser surgery to get rid of lines around my eyes.

A whole family would be absurd now. But one child would be wonderful.

Find out what you don`t want to know about yourself, what you`re afraid of.

You cry tears when a man leaves you at any age - it doesn`t matter whether you are 20 or 60.
