Look, things weren’t always so good. I’ve been dirt poor.
Every day for three months I ate croose & blackwell beef stew for the protein with rice. Today you can’t get me to eat rice. But I never took No for an answer.
Shut the door in my face, I came in thru the window.
For 4 lines when I was to play a hooker, I stood outside in pouring rain.
With each drop I told myself I’m going to get this job. I got it.
Then the author said he was cutting those lines.
I grabbed him by the lapels, Do you know what I went thru to get these 4 lines? He left them in. Never will I give up, Never will I settle. I’m persistent.
I fear rejection like anyone, but I say to myself what can they do tome?
I go for an audition, before I put my hand on that doorknob I say to me,
I’m not here to be validated. I’m her to get a job.
