In playing the part of Mammy, I tried to make her a living, breathing character, the way she appeared to me in the book

I'm letting no man handle my bank account.

I always have the best of everything.

My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful

I'd rather make $700 a week playing a maid than earn $7 a day being a maid.

The only choice permitted us is either to be servants for $7 a week or to portray them for $700 per week.

You can best fight any existing evil from the inside.
