toi know a lot of people have, oh gee, real quirky problems that they wouldn’t dare have anyone know. But one of my problems happens to show: I’m late. I guess people think that why I’m late is some kind of arrogance and I think it is the opposite of arrogance. I also feel that I’m not in this big American rush, toi know, toi got to go and toi go to go fast but for no good reason. The main thing is, I want to be prepared when I get there to give a good performance ou whatever to the best of my ability. A lot of people can be there on time and do nothing, which I have seen them do, and toi know, all sit around sort of chitchatting and talking trivia about their social life. Gable a dit about me, “When she’s there, she’s there. All of her is there! She’s there to work.”
