Never put more in a relationship than you can afford to lose.

Your experience will be a lesson to all of us men to be careful not to marry ladies in very high positions.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.

I’ve never changed my color, I have always been proud of myself, and my fans are proud of me for remaining the way I’ve always been. I married a white man one time, but he was a creep.

Dear Ladies: You should never need to prove to other women that he’s in love with you. That’s his job.
