When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, "I get rejected for a living." And that's true.
But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.
I think at the end of the day this movie is respecting what we as women go through as we grow up. The experiences, what we deal with, other women, things about images, things that we deal with as women. This movie addresses that in a very appropriate and sincere way.

I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.
I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach
