Fame Gets You In The Door But

I Get Strength From My Art - All The Paintings I Own Are Powerful.

Trying To Be A Professional Dancer, Paying My Rent By Posing Nude For Art Classes, Staring At People Staring At Me Naked. Daring Them To Think Of Me As Anything But A Form They Were Trying To Capture With Their Pencils And Charcoal. I Was Defiant. Hell-bent On Surviving. On Making It. But It Was Hard And It Was Lonely, And I Had To Dare Myself Every Day To Keep Going.

In Our House We Don't Use Words Like "despise" And 'hate,' We Say "strongly Dislike."

What I Find Really Astonishing Is How Quiet Everybody Is In My Industry. I Mean, Nobody In The Entertainment Business Except For Maybe A Handful Of People Ever Speak Out About What's Going On. Nobody Takes A Political Stance Or Expresses An Opinion.

It Takes A Real Man To Fill My Shoes.
