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.

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

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

Asking what I considered an impossible salary when I didn't want to work for someone has boosted my pay again and again.

My whole family could sing. My family harmonized without any instruments to accompany them.

Whenever I write for hotel reservations, I always enclose a set of rules I have made for the hotels.
