I want affection and tenderness desperately, but there's something in me that prevents me from handing it out.

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

After years in white theaters I dreaded working in colored houses. The noise, the stomping, whistling, and cheering that hadn't annoyed me when I was young was now something I dreaded.

What broke Mom's heart was realizing that her children knew nothing and cared nothing about the better side of life.

We show girls were forced to live in whorehouses in each town, no other accommodations being available.

I found that a couple of bottles of beer would give me a lift, but the third bottle would sober me up.

All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic.
