Quotes

  • [1963, testifying at the trial of Dr. Stephen Ward] I am not, and have never been, a prostitute.
  • I mean, it's been a misery for me, living with Christine Keeler. Even a criminal has the right to a new life, but they made sure I did not have that. They just didn't stop calling me a prostitute for ever and ever and ever and ever. How can anyone live with that? I took on the sins of everybody, of a generation, really. [Interview with The Observer, 2001]
