Yeah I remember hearing that when I played the audio book. Again, no one knows the pain and struggles Diana and all of those artists went through back in the day. I would also think the stress of being treated like second class citizens also affected her [[though she hardly mentions it at times but we know she was from the few times she did discuss racism).
