If I do an interview, then I take full responsibility. I figure I'm not going to talk to anyone that I think is unethical anyway.

My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.

I just think Josephine Baker life story needs to be done. I think she was an extraordinary woman. To see someone who was basically a showgirl have the kind of lifestyle she had was extraordinary. I really think she made her own lifestyle.

I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.

If I'm with a man I'm soft and buttery.

If I have someone who believes in me, I can move mountains.

All my gowns have trains on them. I make a train that goes on forever. I love long trains and then I stand there and twirl around and wrap myself up in it.
