Women can do a lot of things when they have to, and she was a prime example.

I'm up against these crazy gorgeous women and look who got (the prize). This is another goodie for me.

In fact I've reached the stage where I look at people and say - he or she, they are whole at all because they've chosen to block off at this stage or that. People stay sane by blocking off, by limiting themselves.

She had a beautiful voice. She was a trained concert singer.

She has been a voice in the community for equality. I think her legacy coincides with her husband's. Since his passing, she has worked toward implementing the dream - she wanted to keep his dream alive.

She was beautiful. I think she had beautiful hair; she wore it shoulder length. . . . I remember the smiles, the friendliness. She was easy to talk with.
