“I don't belong on this earth. I always feel out of place - like a visitor.” — Hattie McDaniel

My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful.

Playing the Mammy of Miss Leigh was just about the biggest thrill I've ever had.

I'm letting no man handle my bank account.

Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and Eddie Cantor... help us keep our balance.
