Lynda Keane: Barbie Gray

Quotes 

• Barbie Gray : You really scored with last weeks' show. The papers've been full of it.

  Vicki Stafford : Yeah, I must say the whole thing is very satisfying - both personally and professionally. Ah, you can keep your husbands and houses and children and lottery tickets: to be a success in your career, that's what counts.

  Barbie Gray : But surely if you had the opportunity to lead a normal life...

  Vicki Stafford : I've had the opportunity, darling. No, I mean anybody can get married, most women can have children. I want more than that. I want to be different - an individual. I'd hate to have to rely on anybody, especially a man, for security. Financial or otherwise. No, I'm successful, secure and independent and that's how I like it.
