  • Quotes
    [8/29/99, interview in The Arizona Republic] I've thought about stopping working, just briefly. Sometimes I stop and think, "Wait a minute. When I finish this, what do I do?" But I don't have what normal people call a home. There's no place where I can go and grow my radishes. That's pretty weird when you think about it.
    • Her mole, which she began sporting in 1966 (originally on the bottom-left corner of her chin; since 1967, on the bottom-right corner)
