I wish I knew why I am so anguished.
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
I was brought up differently than the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy.
I don't consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.
I think one of the basic reasons men make good friends is that they can make up their minds quickly.
I have been told my eating habits are absolutely bizarre. But I don't think so.
I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity, and that includes all kinds of parts.
I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do.
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.
A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
