I have never really been a great artist. I have been a human being that has loved art, which is not the same thing. But I have loved and believed in art and the idea of universal brotherhood so much, that I have put everything I have into them, and I have been blessed....if you knew me in another life we might have been friends.I was a star of stage, screen and recordings, a civil rights activist and an honored military woman during World War II. I adopted 12 children of different races, whom I've called the "Rainbow Tribe"; 2 girls and 10 boys. I sought to prove that "children of different ethnicities and religions could be brothers". My stardom lasted for 50 years; my fans gave me extravagant gifts such as diamonds and cars, and I received over 1,500 marriage proposals...."[The Eiffel Tower] looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty?"
