"I'm glad I was raised in Mississippi at a time when being colored and female meant [low] expectations. Now I'm grateful for my days of emptying slop jars, hauling water from the well and going to the outhouse and thinking I was going to fall in. It makes walking through the house with the many bathrooms and marble floors and great view that much better." --USA Today, May 15, 1997
