I couldn't do it at all. I was never really good at it, but I can't imagine what it can be like as a fortunate person not having to deal with it. I mean, people of all ages, not just my age, 25, 35, all the way down the line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, I felt like I had seen it all and done it all, and I was really kind of negative about everything.
I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.
Had I been older - maybe 25 or 30 - I would have never tried half the things I did because I would have rationalized everything and never did it.
I felt that there were so many people doing it that I would just be like one of the others.
I did it to myself. It wasn't society... it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing.
When I started out, there were a lot of things I knew I couldn't do, and a lot of things I only found out I couldn't do by going and doing it. And no-one was watching, and nobody cared.
I just did in my early twenties what most did when they were teenagers, being free and exploring and making mistakes, but I did it in France. I did it privately.
I was always interested in doing it, but I was so content with my life that I didn't really go after it.
I guess I had fun doing it but it has hard memories for me.
I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring.
