Jane Fonda, The Honorary 'Golden Lion' award winner, when asked by Page Six if there’s anything she hasn’t accomplished that she still wants to do, she said, “I’m going to tell you something I haven’t accomplished, which is a successful marriage. But the second part of your question is, ‘Do you want it?’ I don’t want it. You see, I live alone. I don’t have a man who doesn’t want a woman who is willing to get angry and who doesn’t want a woman who is willing to get angry and stand up. I’m not threatening anyone. I can watch whatever I want on TV. So I never want to get married again. But I wish I had been better at it.”
