I stay in tune with my family and God.

My biggest challenge will be to play the totally submissive woman. It takes a toll on you when you play someone who's far removed from your personality.

I want to live a full life - period.

If America has a future, Jazz has a future. The two are inseparable.

Nature has concatenated our fortunes and affections together with indissoluble bands of mutual sympathy.

Shopkeepers are not bankers.

Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
