- [I had] no idea that winning a Miss America title in 1983 would actually be so significant to people that had lived through the civil rights movement. And that to me was such an honor but also something that I had no idea the weight, and that there might be some bad consequences. To have white people who wanted to kill me because I was black and to have death threats against my family because they felt that I was tarnishing the Miss America crown because I was a black person. So it was an incredible time. (en)
- "I had so much trouble being taken seriously not only because I was a beauty queen but a scandalous beauty queen on top of that," she said, later adding in relation to Gershwin's reaction: "Having that perception of me was when I realized what an obstacle I'd have." (en)
