I feel Motown really exploited me.

My costumes were made for sex appeal not for women.

Success to me was getting out of that contract in one piece.

A lot of times I can across as too masculine to men, and they couldn't handle me, they stayed away.

Then when Gladys Knight came in to do my songs that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites.

I feel Motown really exploited me.

I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice.

I had many enemies among the Sioux; I would be running considerable risk in meeting them.

Most women's races don't pay much at all.

I don't suppose anybody's ever enjoyed being who they are more than Arnold's enjoyed being Arnold Palmer.

As long as there are only 3 to 4 people on the floor, the country is in good hands. It's only when you have 50 to 60 in the Senate that you want to be concerned.

Right after Dynasty ended I had a facelift and laser surgery to get rid of lines around my eyes.

I feel old and vulnerable. I now realise that I knew nothing and know nothing, but back when my career was beginning, I thought I was a man when, in fact, I was a dewy-eyed boy who'd not seen an avocado or eaten a tomato.

As a Global Maternal Health Advocate, I get to travel the world quite a bit, meeting individuals and visiting programs with tremendous potential and incredible vision to improve the quality of life for countless others.

Act with kindness, but do not expect gratitude.

I love the challenge of show business. It keeps me on my toes.

It's lovely to be recognized in your own country, but I feel that there's more.

I am a really sensitive person.

I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.

The really great writers are people like Emily Bronte who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination.

There are lots of people I'd like to work with. It would be fun to be in a movie with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.

There's hardly any governmental censorship in Korea.

I have a respect for the 3-D computer-generated action movies, but my first love is stuff like 'Lethal Weapon.'

A label locks me into a definition that people use to control me. A vision graces me with an idea that serves to release me.

I am for deporting all recent unattached illegals. I am for a local citizen panel to consider certification of those who have been here 25 years and have family and community and have been law-abiding and tax-paying.

Fishing is much less about the fishing, and much more about the time alone with your kid, away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

It is extremely dangerous to talk about limits or borders. It is vital, instead, that we remain completely open, that we are always involved, and that we aim to contribute personally in social events.

It's a little like casting out hundreds of fishing lines into the audience. You start getting little bites, then more, then you hook a few, then more. Then you can start reeling them in and that's a loveliest feeling - the whole audience laughing with you.

My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior.

A dead cow or sheep lying in a pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of a carcass dressed and hung up in a butcher's stall passes as food.

Architecture is a service business. An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
