I believe people are entitled to a private life. I`m not sure where it`s written that because you`re in the public eye you are required to expose your private business, with anybody. It is nobody`s business, and it`s interesting because obviously in today`s marketplace people don`t abide by that. There are no boundaries that people won`t cross...We`re in a bit of a Wild West" thing with media, and, I think, it`s just kind of like no holds barred - the Internet. You know, there are no criteria on the Internet...I`ve chosen a public life to express myself, not to tell what I do with my husband in bed, not to do, to talk about my parents and my family life. And I just think it`s wrong, and obviously it`s an insaitable appetite that people have for gossip and inuendo and things that are nobody`s business. And there`s a term that they use in this called "legitimate public concern." What is legitimate public concern? If an elected official has an illness, that`s legitimate public concern because they`re our president or elected official. We, we, we need to know that they`re healthy because we want them to live a long life and protect, you know, the Constitution...but in the marketplace, in the world, I don`t believe it`s anybody`s concern. And that`s what I think." --comments made on The View, Sept. 19, 2000.
