It Really Hit Home That My Parents

When I Was 16, Nobody Else Talked Like Me. Nobody Else Sounded Like Me.

I Think People Have Always Liked In Me The Combination Of Being The Underdog Because I'm A Tiny Woman But I Have Enormous Authority In Myself.

Everybody Either Wanted To Take Care Of Me Or Push Me Around, You Know? I Was Teased A Lot, Sure I Was, Of Course. Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, Everybody Was Taking Their Spurts Except Me. I Was Not Growing Up.

I Aspired To Be Extremely Sophisticated.

I Can't Be A Man. But I Can Embrace The Head Of A Man, The Intelligence Of A Man, The Spirit Of A Man.
