I want to play Eva Peron. I've already done a lot of Shakespeare, but I'd like to do Lady Macbeth.
I still enjoy doing the things I've always done, like going to a monthly dance party at a club downtown.
I missed singing. I missed performing in a nightclub.
I have Native American blood. I have African blood. I have European blood.
I grew up in a funeral home. Both my parents were morticians.
I believe that you can always learn from observation.
I believe in saying 'yes.' I love to work, and I always believe that the schedule can work out if everything is willing to allow it to work out.
I am always happy to use my song and dance training.
Here's how I look at it: Life is full of challenges. Everybody has them. For some, it's health or family crises. I had a financial challenge.
Fortunately, I'm known as the hardest-working woman in showbiz, not to compete with James Brown. I've always been a multi-tasker.
Even though you're married, you're still individuals. You still have to grow and nurture your individuality.
Chuck Cooper is a friend, and I adore him. He can do so many things.
I adore the designer B. Michael's curve-flattering gowns, but there is nothing better than jeans with a crisp white shirt.
I'm all about the drugstore beauty products. They're affordable and get the job done.
