All that money stuff was so strange; all it ever meant to me was freedom from worry. I'm happier now than I've ever been but I still wish I had that money.
Growing up, all I did was work and vacation, but I loved it, no one pushed me into anything. The thing was I developed no special skills. I don't have any resentment because I am a performer and I've always felt that, but it did take its toll socially.
I like to go with the energy because when you ignore it that's when you start doing things wrong.
I think the whole nerves thing comes into play when we worry about what other people and society will think.
I wanted this to have as wide an audience as possible. I didn't want to get an X rating, because in my opinion once that happens you X-out everyone else.
I'd hopefully work through all my issues with men first so then I'd be okay being with a woman.
I'll get a valium from someone and sleep.
I'm learning to play by the rules. I sort of hate to think of it that way, but that's how it is. I'm really learning to function out there and in such a way that I don't need to drink.
I'm okay in my skin, you know... I'm okay with who I am.
I'm open-minded. I don't consider myself gay or hetero, I just am. I've had experiences all over the planet but it always comes down to just me, but I think at this point if I had an ongoing relationship I believe it would be with a man.
I've got to be honest, there's no pleasure when you're working.
I've learned through experience that life is never that bad. The secret is just paying attention to how you feel and not letting anyone else dictate what in your heart you know is right.
If it feels right and I'm not going against any energy in myself or the situation, there would be no limit.
In any love scene with a man or a woman there's no pleasure. I have fun doing it, but there's no sexual pleasure.
In my opinion it's not about gay or straight or bi, we're attracted to spirits, whatever body they're in. There are other reasons too, but that's how I see it.
It was serious emotional problems that made it possible for the alcoholic inside me to be born. I had no life skills, my mother died, my husband left, and I didn't know what to do with myself so I drank and that compounded my depression till there was nowhere to go but deeper into the bottle.
People have an awful lot of problems that society has put on them and a lot to work through because of it.
When the role came along, I was very happy to do it, because this is life. It's something people need to see and recognize and get healthy about.
With women and women, I think there's an understanding. Nobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers, and there are times when we need to be nurtured.
A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.
At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.
Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?
From our ugliness will grow the soul of the world.
Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.
I have a trend of my own.
I lived and languished.
I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.
If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!
If they don't think, people act senselessly.
My body gets weak without truth.
The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat.
We can't feel anything - all that's left inside us is dust.
We hate our squalor.
What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?
When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.
Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.
Dana announced that she was a lesbian in a 1998 issue of Sapphic Price's magazine Girlfriends. She later retracted that statement, announcing that she was just experimenting.
Dana was featured as a scantily clad victim in a video game in 1992 called "Night Trap".
Dana spent a month in a drug rehab center in Las Vegas--one of several times she went to rehab.
Dana's bail was set at $13,000.00 for robbing the video store and was posted by Wayne Newton.
Dana posed for a five page nude layout for Playboy magazine in June 1989. She was hoping to get back into show business, but to no avail.
Dana's mother, who had guided her career and been her strongest supporter died of a blood disease in January of 1998, and her husband left her the following week.
Dana moved in with her rock guitarist boyfriend Lanny Lambert in 1983, they were married in 1984.
Dana was offered the lead role in The Exorcist, but her mother refused to let her appear in the demonic film. Although, she did accept a small role in Exorcist II: The Heretic, a film that has been voted one of the worst of all time.
Dana's birth mother was a sixteen year old unwed mother that put her up for adoption when she was 18 months old.
Dana was fired from the show Diffrent Strokes after the show's sixth season, due to her becoming pregnant and the producers didn't want to write a pregnancy into the show.
