I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am. What you see is what you get.
I think the whole nerves thing comes into play when we worry about what other people and society will think.
I wanted this to have as wide an audience as possible. I didn't want to get an X rating, because in my opinion once that happens you X-out everyone else.
Nobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers and there are times when we need to be nurtured.
I'm open-minded. I don't consider myself gay or hetero, I just am. I've had experiences all over the planet but it always comes down to just me, but I think at this point if I had an ongoing relationship I believe it would be with a man.
I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am.
When the role came along, I was very happy to do it, because this is life. It's something people need to see and recognize and get healthy about.
I'll get a valium from someone and sleep.
