I have a couple freeloader friends, but it's okay. I know they're gonna come in with their arms flying in the air empty-handed.

I love old cookbooks. I just got such a kick out of them, how the color would be way off or fake looking. The cook books now look so much like magazines, you'll never make food that looks like that. I'd rather see it the ugly way than they way they do it now.

You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.

I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there.

I wasn't a cliquey person, and I think that's because I came from a large family. I got along with everybody, and I usually got along with the people that people didn't like.

I like crafts that come out of poverty or necessity. There used to be hobby shops where you'd get your supplies, and then you'd use your imagination.

Crafting, or 'making things,' has always been a delightful pastime of mine because it requires putting common elements together in order to achieve a lovely something that nobody needs.
