One year they asked me to be poster boy - for birth control.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother put me on birth control as soon as I told her I wanted to go on it. I was 16. I was very young.
I was pretty much the government's poster boy for what I had done.
I did not want to become a poster child for yet another disease.
I don't yearn to be a child again.
The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.
I was in graduate school. I had a birth control accident and went to get the morning after pill.
When I was young, I did Baby Guess and Guess Kids - Paul Marciano saw me when I was a baby and decided I was going to be his next whatever. After Guess Kids, my mom made me stop. She would not let me sign with an agency until I was 17 because she wanted me to be a normal kid and accept myself for who I was.
A very beautiful young woman once asked me to sign her breasts. That was back when I was a hip young thing - it's been all downhill since then.
And they just saw me on that and - from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East.
I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.
