Danielle Steel

I want to be Miss Universe when I grow up.

My relationships were never equitable. My husbands were always older than me, and they made the rules, they ran the show, and I followed them.

Writing is a solitary endeavor, but not a lonely one. When you write, your world is populated by the characters you invent, and you feel those people filling your life.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
