After years in white theaters I dreaded working in colored houses. The noise, the stomping, whistling, and cheering that hadn't annoyed me when I was young was now something I dreaded.

I have always been psychic. The walls of any room I walk into talk to me.

If whites bored me, it was because they bored themselves. They seemed to get little fun out of life and were desperately lonely.

There's no hypocrisy in Hell's Kitchen.

I never felt I belonged. I was always an outsider.

I never accepted the idea that I was all through. I guess no person who has once been a star can do that, ever.

Today or any day that phone may ring and bring good news.
