I consider myself conscious of how we're treated, and sometimes I can be a feminist.

I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.

When you come from an environment that's military, and they don't stress that topic of aesthetics or beauty pageants and makeup, there are a lot of things you just don't have that city girls have. Or the country girl who goes to movies and dreams of going to Hollywood as an actress.

I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.

I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.

My family was very, very receptive to all; all races, religions.
