What impressed me most about New York were its huge apartment houses.

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

Though I was a Catholic, I recognized that Protestant churches had something.

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.

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

Basically there is no difference between whites and blacks, browns and yellows. I decided to think no more of people as Northerners and Southerners.

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