Marla Maples quotes:

When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.

I look back at old photographs and videotapes, and I go, Who was I trying to be? Who was I doing this for?

I was homecoming queen. I was star of my basketball team.

I don't think he cheated on me. During the marriage, I think he was there.

I was holding a reserve inside all along. When you're with someone as powerful as Donald, you have no choice. You can get lost within that power if you're not careful.

Every story was being made up. My true friends weren't the ones speaking. It was people who never knew me, making up stories. Even my local paper put a $1,000 bounty out for information about my whereabouts.

I created a production company. Right now I am so happy in my work.

I met Donald Trump in '85. I ran into him several times throughout the years. We knew we had this connection, but it wasn't appropriate timing. So we'd spend a lot of time on the telephone. By '88, I knew I truly loved this guy.

I went to work. That was a turning point. When you have to do eight shows a week and your name is on the marquee, no matter what is going on at home or what's on the cover of the newspapers, you've got to do your job.

My personal life was fair game. And thats what hurt me.

I was made to believe there was a plan in place for ending Donald's previous marriage. I pulled away because I wanted to allow him the time to deal with his wife.

When we separated, I did not want to get in a slugfest. I had to take the high ground.

I think what he loved about me the most was that I wasn't part of that world. But once we were together publicly, he wanted to change me into that social animal.

If we could have somehow stayed away from the public and the press, it might have been different, but every private issue seemed to be played out on the front page.

When that man wants something, he'll stop at nothing to get it. And I also believed in the good of him.
