A lot of artists fell in love with me over the years.

There are three things we have no control over: our birth; our emotions, if we're sincere; and our death.

My husband wanted me to be a typical socialite. We never agreed on anything, so finally we decided it wasn't going to work.

My reputation was built on hostility. I had no friends and some very virulent enemies in the old-guard art scene when I began. They threw their heavy artillery against me. They were convinced I was perverting the public taste.

This creates a stronger identity for [United Artists], while putting all the mainstream identity at MGM.

I love to cook and I've cooked a lot of Bulgarian food over the years.
