I was discriminated against because I was Jewish, Italian, black and Puerto Rican. But maybe the worst prejudice I experienced was against the poor. I grew up on welfare and often had to move in the middle of the night because we couldn't pay the rent.

I'm not in favor of any discrimination of any form.

There are still traces of discrimination against race and gender, but it's a lot different than when I started out. It just comes quietly, slowly, sometimes so quietly that you don't realize it until you start looking back.

Discrimination is a disease.

All I can say is I am sensitive to discrimination on any basis because I have experienced that upset.

I knew that discrimination existed, even though there were many individuals who were not prejudiced.

Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.

I believe nobody should be discriminated against.

I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.

I know from personal experience what it's like to be discriminated against. I remember people telling me, 'Ladies don't become lawyers,' and now I look at America and know what can be done.
