All my life I've been prejudiced against wealthy people.

Basically there is no difference between whites and blacks, browns and yellows. I decided to think no more of people as Northerners and Southerners.

I wondered what I would do if I didn't have my God to turn to and be able to read the Book He had divinely inspired.

I had always loved John Ford's pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.

If I wanted pity, I got it because I'm illegitimate. And when I didn't want it I was mean and nasty.

I had a probing mind and an elephant memory.

I was born out of wedlock. Nobody brought me up.
