There's no such thing as free love. Have you seen the price of Viagra?
Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you.
I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.
God made me the way that I am and it's my business to be true to that.
Don't lose your temper; use it.
lots of women buy just as many wigs and makeup things as I do ... They just don't wear them all at the same time.
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.
[On growing up in a large family with little money:] ... to take a bath ... we just had a pan of water and we'd wash down as far as possible, and we'd wash up as far as possible. Then, when somebody'd clear the room, we'd wash possible.
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information; I was a curious kid. I still am.
When you come from where I come from, if anyone in the family makes it out, the others kind of come with you.
People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.
[On why she doesn't exercise:] If I tried to jog with these boobs, I'd end up with two black eyes.
Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.
I do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.
