I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.

I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.

By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.

Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.

Motherhood sort of puts things into perspective, and it's bout real life, and life is about people, what we give, what we take, what we share.

I will not marry again. There is no need.
