In essence, I'm a sophisticated cotton picker.
The boys that were running away from America because they didn't want to get involved with the Vietnam War had come to me. They would tell me how they felt.
When my baby was born I had to know how to save her in case she fell in the pool or something like that. I went to one of these nursing places to learn how to take care of the child.
I'm still with that feeling that I am afraid of doing the wrong thing, because somebody is going to punish me.
I would like to be writing more because people are constantly asking me questions, and I write down what they are asking me.
I was trying to find out who my father was. They say that at that time, that if you are illegitimate, the father doesn't have to put his name down on the certificate.
I was invited to a luncheon with 49 other women to give my opinions about the problematic situation among young people. They wanted me to talk about why is there so much juvenile delinquency in the streets of America.
I am still confused because I still don't know who my father is. And so who is my mother? The feeling is still there.
Dallas is where Kennedy was shot, and that's where I was put in jail.
I sent my daughter 40 roses last November because I thought she was 40. And she laughed her head off. She is not going to be 40 until this year!
I am always trying to eat the right kind of foods that are going to keep me healthy.
I am supposed to be, according to what I am told, one of the children of the cotton plantation owner's sons. If I could prove that, I'd own the whole goddamn everything.
I have been nominated three times. I have the little pieces of paper to prove it.
Everything should be done with moderation and using common sense.
