We just walked in and the three of us just got on the floor and just started to dance, and the people whent absolutely in-sane! Nobody sits down in these places. We got out of the car, went straight into the place, and got straight on the dance floor. I'm here, Cher's here, Bette's on the floor, the lights are flickerin' and we're just dancin', like, to die, right? And kids would just stop dead on the floor."—Diana Ross, September 1976

"I can ice-skate. I can ski. I can read upside down. I can ride a skateboard. I can hit a tossed can with a .38 revolver. I have driven a Maserati (at dawn, on a flat, lonely Texas road) at 170 mph. I can make a soufflé Furstenberg. (This is quite a stunt: It is a spinach-and-cheese concoction that involves sinking six poached eggs into the batter before cooking; the trick is to have the yolks remain soft and runny when the soufflé is served.) I can tap dance. I can type 60 words a minute. I can't recite the alphabet, at least not correctly or all the way through. I am a mathematical imbecile—I can add, more or less, but I can't subtract. I can't speak Italian, even though I lived in Italy for a total of nine years. I can't make a prepared speech—it has to be spontaneous, ‘on the wing.' " —Truman Capote, November 1989
