There is a great supply of amateur undertakers in show business.
All my life I've been prejudiced against wealthy people.
The white audiences thought I was white, my features being what they are, and at every performance I'd have to take off my gloves to prove I was a spade.

When I first went on the stage I was 17 and under the legal age for performers.
When I act I try to express the suffering or joy I've known during my lifetime.
