We didnt have television until I was about eight years old, so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television, you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things, and the comics, that I immersed myself in as a child. – Jessica Hagedorn
I think theres a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before Ive even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life. – Shalom Harlow
