At the Oscars, if you didn’t vote for 12 Years a Slave,’ you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say.

Mobile is a seaport town, and we ate a lot of seafood. We’d go fishing, we’d catch our fish and we’d eat our fish.

I’m very committed to my family and my town. My biggest local commitment are my children, my husband, my home and my grandchildren Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid in Michigan, I used to play ball with a town team on Sunday. Of course, I’d go to church first. Played the church organ, as a matter of fact Picture Quote #1

Well, I was born in Miami, and then I lived for a long time in Tallahassee, and before that, Winter Haven, which is a tiny town in Florida. I was not a city girl Picture Quote #1

My father moved out to Park City in in the mid- 70s and lived in a Winnebago behind a hippie joint called Utah Coal and Lumber that was one of only two or three restaurants at that time. Park City was a sleepy little mining town, with not a condo in sight Picture Quote #1

I had never read a book written by an African-American. I didn’t know that black people could write books. I didn’t know that blacks had done any great things.

But I have always had a strange connection with clothing Picture Quote #1
