"Before the group left, Gary asked for my phone number, and the next day he called to ask me to dinne..." — Donna Rice

I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.

I'm stronger knowing that while Donna Rice could be sold, she could not be bought.

It was hard to turn down the money since I didn't have a job, but I didn't want to exploit my notoriety because I knew the way I'd been living was wrong.

I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.
