“I always wanted to be in the movies. When I was little I thought for sure one day I could be a big big star or maybe just beautiful. Beautiful and rich like the women on TV. Yeah I had a lot of dreams. And I guess you could call me a real romantic because I truly believed that one day they’d come true so I dreamed about it for hours and as the years went by I learned to stop sharing this with people. They said I was dreaming but back then, I believed it whole heartily. So whenever I was down, I would just escape into my mind, into my other life, where I was someone else. It made me happy to think that all these people just didn’t know yet who I was going to be. But one day they’d all see. Yeah I lived that way for a long long time in my head dreaming like that. It was nice. And one day it just stopped.”
