Every color I can think of and nationality, we were all touched by Dr. King because he made us like each other and respect each other.

I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.

I'm still learning, you know. At 80, I feel there is a lot I don't know.

Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.

In my early days I was a sepia Hedy Lamarr. Now I'm black and a woman, singing my own way.

50 years old is like springtime to me.
