As for society, I believe in it. When a young woman, I went out a good deal myself. I don’t think society means what some rich people would have us believe. I’d get very tired of living in one of those great houses in New York, going out all night and sleeping all day. They don’t have any real pleasure. It’s intercourse with people that I like.
