I was a street dancer.

I was considered an ugly duckling.

Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.

I am the original 'Material Girl.'

It’s best if you can do things with a sense of humor and finesse.

Just because you are different does not mean that you have to be rejected.

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.

The boys that were running away from America because they didn’t want to get involved with the Vietnam War had come to me. They would tell me how they felt.

In essence, I’m a sophisticated cotton picker.

Thank God you’ve got a sense of humor, or you’d be in trouble.
