I dressed plain, but my partners were always spending more money on clothes than I could afford.

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.

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

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

Twenty-five years is a long time for a girl to live out of a trunk, and after looking over a few houses, I fell in love with one in Southwest Los Angeles.

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

I am an isolationist.
