I don't carry myself as a black person but as a woman that belongs to everybody. After all, it's the general public that made me - not any one particular group. So I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular group and never have.
I have a great need for affection from an audience. I don't know whether this is because I had such a tough life when I was a child.
I don't think I ever really got interested in theater.
I have to keep testing myself.
When the people who are responsible for our country ask you a direct question, I expect them to accept a direct answer, not to be blackballed because you are telling the truth.
Maybe subconsciously I feel I was meant to work hard for a living.
