Men don't have to tiptoe around me - you can say anything and I won't get offended.
I wasn't a cheerleader or the prom queen. I don't move through the world with a mirror in front of my face, and I've never been attracted to projects that had an emphasis on what I look like.

My mother used to say, If other people have a problem with you, that's their problem. It's not your problem. I still have that philosophy today.
I choose to be more prepared than I'm expected to be.
