I never wore a watch. I always depend on public clocks, and stores have clocks, but that is strange.

I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm hold on the handles of the baby carriage and I wheel it into the traffic.

If there's a black cat that crosses the street in my path, I will turn around and walk 20 minutes out of my way to not cross it. You know how in New York there's a lot of scaffolding? I won't walk under scaffolding or under ladders. I wear things like a baseball player wears things that are supposed to have luck.

I have never worn a watch. I did at 17 and it annoyed me.

I walk wherever my errands take me.

I trip over my legs all the time. I'll wave to somebody, look up, and end up eating pavement.

I have a very heavy-footed walk; I always have.

I did not walk every step of the Trail of Tears at one time. Instead, over the last 20 years, I have walked various segments of it in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
