I Spent My Whole Life Trying To

Growing Up With Three Boys In A Heavily Male-dominated World, I Especially Needed To Express Myself As A Woman.

Almost Six Years Ago, Before I Was Given The Incredible Opportunity To Be In 'leaving Las Vegas,' I Was Going Through A Long Period Of Artistic Confusion. I'd Spent Years Doing Work That Hadn't Pushed Me Enough, And I Was Beginning To Wonder If I Had Any Talent.

I Want To Be Involved With Young People In Some Way. Teenagers. Because That's The Most Vulnerable Time. I Have A Fantasy Of Becoming A Teacher One Day.

Sadness, Joy, Wonder - All Feelings Come From A Place Of Grounded Strength That Comes From Trust In Yourself. We Spend So Much Time Trying To Control Our Feelings Out Of Fear That Something May Happen, That Somebody May Not Love Us, Or Walk Away Or Die. It's Only When You Stop Living In That Fear Of What Other People Might Do To You Or How They Will React, Only Then Are You Free To Be Alive.
