I don't wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I'm asked, I will answer honestly.
I used to teach dance lessons.
I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.
I love to tease men with my legs.
In essence, I'm a sophisticated cotton picker.
I would like to be writing more because people are constantly asking me questions, and I write down what they are asking me.
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.
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 love being in America. I used to love traveling and I am glad that I was able to go around the world. I still love to go to Europe, but I always want to come home.
Thank God I got the rejects. These animals are very, very affectionate.
I have to keep testing myself.
As the Batman TV series was returning to ABC for its second season in 1967, the TV bosses decided to take Catwoman into another direction......lucky for me.
Thank God you've got a sense of humor, or you'd be in trouble.
