I Was Not Popular. I Was The

A Beautiful Woman In Our Culture, And I Would Like To Say, You Know, This Was Different In 1962, But It Still Exists Today - I Know A Lot Of These Women -treats Different In A Different Way; Meaning That If You're A Beautiful Woman, You're Incredibly Powerful Within Our Culture.

If I'm Having A Bad Day I Put On The Very Best Thing I Have. I Polish My Shoes, I Shine Everything Up, Because That Helps Me Get Though The Day. It Helps Me, You Know, It's In A Sense Armor. It Says, Okay, I'm A Mess Inside But You Know What, On The Outside I'm Going To Be Pulled Together, Everything Is Okay.
