The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.

Smile, it enhances your face value.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard.

I love to flirt, and I've never met a man I didn't like.

Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
