“My father was the president of the Hearst Corporation, and my parents were close friends of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and they all had pugs.”

“I consider myself the queen of pugs of New York City. I'm really into my dogs. Massive pugs, massive needlepoint, massive color!”

“I love the New York that was. The end for me was Studio 54. I don't go out at night anymore.”

“The terrible thing about sunlight is it shows the dirt.”

“I loathe having to go out and get dressed up. I'd much rather stay home and watch CNN.”

“There are two things that I hate: getting up at 6 in the morning and making my bed. I'm as neat as a pin, but I will not make beds. Period. I don't care if I get into them and they're messy. I just don't care.”
