I Don't Enjoy Being Told

Flying Is My Favorite Time In The World. When I'm Sitting In A Plane, It's Amazing Because It's Quiet And There's No Cell Phones And No One To Talk To You. It's My Favorite Time. I Read All My Scripts. I Catch Up On My Movies. I Sleep. It's The Best. There's No One Telling You, "time To Go!"

When Somebody Else Calls You Exotic, Exotic Is A Box - It's The Stereotype Of Snake Charmers And Face Jewelry. You're Just That Stereotype. But I Don't Get Offended Anymore. I Used To Get Offended By Things That Were Said To Me, Or How I Was Seen. Now I Educate. If I Get Pissed Off, I'll Educate In A Sassy Way. Other Times I Educate In A Gandhi-like Way. You Know - I Have My Moods.

I Was Also Told Some Years Ago That I Shouldn't 'waste My Time' With Female-centric Films Because The Audience Was Not Ready For It.

As A Musician, I Know That It'll Take Time For Me To Get To The Ranks Of An Established Artiste. Nevertheless, I'm Very Happy That People Are Appreciating My Music.

I'm A Tough Girl, I Know What My Job Entails - It Entails A Lot More Than Standing In Front Of The Camera. So I Get It. I Won't Deny The Physicality Of It Is Exhausting, And Sometimes My Body Just Can't Keep Up. But It Is Ultimately About Mind Over Matter.
