I Was Unique In That I Was A Kind Of Black That White People Could Accept. I Was Their Daydream. I Had The Worst Kind Of Acceptance Because It Was Never For How Great I Was Or What I Contributed. It Was Because Of The Way I Looked.

Always Be Smarter Than The People Who Hire You.

Music Became My Refuge And Then My Salvation.

I'm Not Alone, I'm Free. I No Longer Have To Be A Credit, I Don't Have To Be A Symbol To Anybody; I Don't Have To Be A First To Anybody.

I Thought Of Singing And Acting As A Living-making. I Was Able To Take Care Of Myself And A Few Of My Friends.
