The teenagers aren't all bad. I love 'em if nobody else does. There ain't nothing wrong with young people. Jus' quit lyin' to 'em.

Love is like playing checkers. You have to know which man to move.

My husband was so ugly, he used to stand outside the doctor’s office and make people sick.

Honey, that Totie Fields is one well-fed white woman. When that gal sits around the house, she sits around the house!

Black women, white women- all of them. I'm colorblind. I don't know the difference. I only know you're a human being and you're my children.

Ain't nothin' an ol' man can do but bring me a message from a young one.

I don't want nothing old but some old money. Buy me some young ideas. That's what I'm gonna do with it.
