So I think that's why I don't negotiate with it.

Yeah.

I don't think I'm good at anything.

And I'm fine with that because it's not my fault that other people hire me.

That's on them.

I'm a maniac.

And I love it.

No, I don't believe I came up with that.

No.

Yeah, it hit me deep.

It really helped me understand the importance of...

Where you deliver information from, you know, I think when I first, a lot of people who are aware of me for my voice rather than my acting will maybe have been introduced to a more extreme version of me.

Believe it or not.

But I was violent in my language and very rageful and callous.

And I alienated the very people I sought most to open the minds of because I was so unhealed from my trauma.

2015 was so weird because I'd been in this industry since 2008.

And all that time, no one had wanted to know what my opinion was on anything other than how I stay so thin.

And then suddenly in 2015, everyone had a microphone up my ass going, tell us about the infrastructure of patriarchy and the social expectations of women and all of the ways in which you have been harassed and wrecked in this world.

And we were supposed to answer these questions as if we were trained politicians and orators, and we weren't.

but those of us who had the mic in front of us knew this was an opportunity to say something before the urge to listen to women goes away, before this trend passes.
