“I think the black R&B singers of my day were the best singers of my generation.”

“Hopefully, one day, I'd like to settle down with my own gospel recording company.”

“The only songs I would learn were songs that moved me emotionally.”

“I started out, as most astronomers do, with a university job. But in my generation, women weren't very welcome at universities, and so I found a job in the government. And the government was appreciably more welcoming.”

“I want to say I hate my generation, but I don't.”

“I feel incredibly blessed that I'm in my generation and not my mother's generation. I feel that I'm very much benefitting from the strides that the women before me made.”
