I am life, I am strength, I am woman.
Who am I to judge is what I say. I'm 90 years old, for crying out loud, and I don't sit in any chariot.
Every night when I go out on stage, there's always one nagging fear in the back of my mind. I'm always afraid that somewhere out there, there is one person in the audience that I'm not going to offend!

No matter where you go in this world, you will always find a Jew sitting in the beach chair next to you.
When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
I think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.

My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed.
