And Finding The Hat, I

In The Harshest Place On Earth, ... Love Finds A Way.

My Parents Were Working In A Hospital In Memphis. But I Didn't Live There For Any Length Of Time That I Remember. The First Thing I Remember Is The Town In Mississippi That I Live In Now, Charleston.

I Want To Be Up There, Being Lauded And Applauded And Given All These And On The Red Carpet, Waving At The Hordes Of People.

I Have To Remind Myself That Some Birds Aren't Meant To Be Caged. Their Feathers Are Just Too Bright. And When They Fly Away, The Part Of You That Knows It Was A Sin To Lock Them Up Does Rejoice.

I Remember Saying To My Agent, "listen, Everybody's Going Out To Hollywood And Making Movies. I Think I Ought To Go Out There." And His Advice To Me Was, "i Wouldn't Do That If I Were You. If They Want You In Hollywood, They'll Send You." And Sure Enough, They Did.
