I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.

For me, each nuance of a color is in some way an individual, a being who is not only from the same race as the base color, but who definitely possesses a distinct character and personal soul.

I think we all are kind of colored by whatever we were raised with or what we came up believing in.

For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

I love putting people to work of color.

Colours exist for me as entities in themselves, as metaphysical beings.

I never identified with anybody. I have always been very sensitive about my color, because everybody called me 'yellow gal.' I was caught in between both sides - nobody wanted me. I love that my audience is there, but I always feel as though I have to fend for myself.

I love color and I love to dress like a woman.
