The stage floor was a stage of thin ice for me to tread. To hold my own or to sink through and die, never to be remembered.

I was invited to a luncheon with 49 other women to give my opinions about the problematic situation among young people. They wanted me to talk about why is there so much juvenile delinquency in the streets of America.

I'm a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don't trust diamonds and gold.

Everything should be done with moderation and using common sense.

Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.

I always believe in living in the country, because that's where what I eat is what I can put back in the dirt.

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