environment harder move respect safe survival thanks women work
because thanks to women like her, I get to work and live in a very safe environment. I respect women who come from harsher landscapes, where survival is much harder than in cities, because they don't wallow in self-pity. They have to survive, so they get up and move on.

I was told to go to a director's house at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night, so I went, thinking maybe this is the kind of thing you do. He opened the door wearing pajamas. I walked in, and he offered me a drink. I instantly knew what his intentions were, and it was not an option for me. I feel grateful I have this personality, but a lot of women don't. That's why I can't sit back and say, 'Things are great for me, therefore they're great for everybody else.'
