There had been lots of crises in my life. And there was plenty of spunk and battle cry still left in me.

I am an isolationist.

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

There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing.

I never posed as a saint. I would have slept with a man for nothing if I liked him well enough.

I don't care to dress up except when it is necessary or good for my business.

I'm not afraid to die. I'm looking forward to it. I know the Lord has His arms wrapped around this big sparrow.
