Today I blame only certain agents for my long eclipse as a public entertainer.
I have no acting technique I act instinctively. That's why I can't play any role that isn't based on something in my life.
All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic.
I had a probing mind and an elephant memory.
I have reason to be shy. I've been hurt plenty.
Basically there is no difference between whites and blacks, browns and yellows. I decided to think no more of people as Northerners and Southerners.
