I never found anyone who was good enough, who I could trust enough.
I like to think that people live on in other people's memories.
As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.
However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.
I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.
They wanted to hear about the sex, of course. But not the rest; no one wanted to hear the rest.
Men, all men, were always trying to get hold of me, you know.
It's been a misery for me, living with Christine Keeler.
If I don't tell it all now, the story in the history books will always be imperfect and that would be wrong.
I'm terrified of men these days. If someone asked me out now, I don't know what I'd say, how I'd react. But I couldn't go through with it, not at all. I suppose I've been terrified of them all along.
I took on the sins of everybody, of a generation, really.
I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.
I have always been free with my love - it is my nature. I am easily captivated by men and they have always been attracted to me.
The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.
