I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.

My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.

It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future.

My family was very, very receptive to all; all races, religions.

I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.

I thought I would be Sheena of the Jungle as a little girl.

Well who's black and what is a black person?

That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character.

It's always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out and hip huggers.

Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.

You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom.

There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.

I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.

Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.

But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.

I am really blessed and very grateful for it.

This whole beauty thing is something I've never comprehended.

Does a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it's not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn't then.

I love the hip-hop nation.

Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.

Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.

I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.

I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

I really do not care if it is a B-movie or not.

The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.

I like to do all kinds of films.

Driving a cab is not really a nurturing type of relationship. You take people and they tip you, they may not tip you, you don't know their names, they don't care about you, you don't care about them.

And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.

I love science fiction.

Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.

I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.

Today many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.

I was surprised that the TV series was popular itself, but after that it went on to become more popular over the years and thus it seemed eventually that they would turn it into a movie.

I prefer to remember the happy things over 10 years, the things that went well. Let me see, what did go well?

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

The robe of flesh wears thin, and with the years God shines through all things.

The Republicans claim they are for strengthening Pell grants when the truth is that over the last four years, their legislation has done the exact opposite.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

I couldn't sleep for two years, they tried to break my nerves. They used a lot of psychology to brainwash.

What the war did was give me the opportunity of three years of continuous reading, and it was in the course of reading that I became convinced that I should become an economist.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.
