I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since. I'm going to be a great movie star some day. I've never dropped anyone I believed in. I've been on a calendar, but never on time. I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me and that I've made of myself, as a sex symbol. Men expect so much, and I can't live up to it. I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else. Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature. To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation. People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn't see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one. |
