When I Started The Imagination Library In My Hometown, I Never Dreamed That One Day We Would Be Helping Scottish Kids.

First Thing I Do In The Morning, After I Have My Breakfast And Do My Spiritual Work, Is Put On My Makeup And Fix My Hair, And I Can Do My Makeup In 15 Minutes.

I Will Not Play Just An Evil Part. In Fact, I Got Offered $7 Million Several Years Ago To Play The Part That Faye Dunaway Played In 'supergirl.' I Was Kind Of Insulted.

My Grandfather Was A Pentecostal Preacher. It Was A Sin To Even Pluck Your Eyebrows, And They Thought It Was A Sin For Me To Be There Looking Like Jezebel.
