daughter beach nice
The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous....You know I didn't think they'd rake through my bins, I didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens.

daughter determination rocks
Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential.
