I told them I belong to the same organizations and clubs Mrs. Roosevelt belongs to, but with a few brave exceptions, I was still unable to do films or television for the next seven years.

I really do hate to sing.

Every color I can think of and nationality, we were all touched by Dr. King because he made us like each other and respect each other.

I want to sing like Aretha Franklin. Before her I wanted the technical ability of Ella Fitzgerald.

As much as I try, when I open my mouth, Lena comes out, And I get so mad.

My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman.

I'm still learning, you know. At 80, I feel there is a lot I don't know.

I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.

Malcolm X raised my consciousness about myself and my people and other people more than any person I know. I knew him before he became Malcolm X.

Malcolm X made me very strong at a time I needed to understand what I was angry about. He had peace in his heart. He exerted a big influence on me.
