I'm A Big Child At Heart. I

I Never Thought I Was Pretty. I Couldn't Even Put On Eyelashes Or Makeup.

I Don't Know How I Did It, But I Worked 7 Days A Week.

It's The Best Honor When Someone Wants To Use As Their Professional Title The Name Of A Character That You Portrayed.

I Was A Child Of The Women's Movement. Everything I Had Learned Was From My Mother And My Grandmother, Who Both Had A Very Pioneering Spirit. They Had To, Because They Had To Change Flat Tires And Paint The House - Because, You Know, The Men Didn't Come Home From The War Or Whatever Else, So Women Had To Do These Things.

Coming From The '50s, Things Were Very Violent. We Were Still Being Lynched. If I Drove Down Through The South With My Mother, I Might Not Make It Through One State Without Being Bullied Or Harassed. I Feel Like Unless You've Been Black For A Week, You Don't Know.
