I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

I want to breathe in the Spiritual.

In Tennessee where I grew up, there were animals, farms, wagons, mules.

It just feels like Erwin and me... even at night I don't feel I have to look pretty in bed.

They're still in good shape, but I'm not flashing them anymore. I'm an old lady. I leave all the flesh to the kids.

As long as I have people's attention, I can't stop. You can't put the public on hold, because they might not be there when you get back. I have a pathological fear of stopping.
