Getting Older, You Just Don't Want To

The Most Successful People I've Worked With, Like The Rolling Stones - People Of A Different, Kind Of Legendary Caliber - Have Such Great, Warm Energy.

Some People Are Afraid Of Change And [feel] That Getting Older Is A Bad Thing, But I Really Love Maturing And Gaining Wisdom, And The Experience Of Being Pregnant And Having A Child And Seeing What A Woman's Body Can Do Is Amazing.

I Was Brought Up In A Household Of Chaos And I Never Felt Stable At Home. At A Really Young Age, I Decided I Was Never Going To Feel Helpless, I Was Never Going To Feel Weak Around A Man, And I Was Never Going To Rely On Anyone. Independence Was A Big, Big Thing For Me.

There Have Been A Lot Of Roles And Scripts That Have Come My Way But Nothing That Really Inspired Me Or Intrigued Me Like When "burlesque" Showed Up At My Door. Just The Whole Concept Of Burlesque, I've Always Been Fascinated With It. I've Always Collected So Many Books About Burlesque. I've Been Intrigued By The Time That It's Set In, In The 20's, 30's, 40's And So I Knew It Was A No Brainer For Me To Be A Part Of Once I Met With The Team.

I Look Back At The Looks I've Had Over The Years. I'm Proud Of Myself That I Had The Courage To Experiment With Crazy Hairstyles And Some Fashion Things. Would I Do It Again? No. But That's Part Of The Learning Process And Getting From Point A To Point B.
