I'm very happy with what the gods have given me. I take life as she presents herself to me, and whatever you see in my face is what I have earned.

I don't go for very handsome men. Like they say in England, toy boys break too easily.

I still can't go over a subway grating without looking down to see if there is some money there.

A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.

I stayed on my own path and did not follow the herd. I made a way for myself.

I don't believe in bringing children into the world out of wedlock.
