I Think People Are Very Cynical With Actors Trying To Tell Them What To Believe In, Or Lobbying For Any Kind Of Changing Of Government Policy. Even I Get Cynical About It. Like, Why Is Sharon Stone Telling Me This? And There's Just Something Annoying About Having Charlie Sheen Tell Me, "it's Your Responsibility To Vote," In An Admonishing Way On Mtv.

I Was A 36c Or D, And At 5' 1'', I Knew That Being A Small Person With Big Boobs Standing In Front Of An Audience Was Not Going To Be Easy. It Would Be Really Hard To Get People To Pay Attention To Me Without Mocking Me. Getting A Breast Reduction To Prepare For My Career Was No Different From People Who Work To Get Good Grades To Get Into A Good College To Get Into A Good Graduate School To Get A Good Job. I Went Down To A B Cup, And It Was The Best Thing In The Whole World.

This World Is Bullshit. And Just Because I Appear In Music Video Wherein I Am In My Underwear, And Make Young Women Feel Not Good Enough So That They Become Anorxeic; And Okay, Maybe Because Of That I Became Popular More Quickly Than Other Singers Who Are, I Don't Know, Maybe More Talented Or Better Songwriters. That Doesn't Matter Because, And... Um... My Boyfriend Is A Magician, And He Can Pull A Quarter Out Of Your Ear And Say Things Like 'we Have Not Met Before Have We?' Go With Yourself.

Not Good Enough

Sometimes There's A Lot Of Tangents Because I Forget What I'm Going To Say So Much. Sometimes There's Very Little Tangents And Stuff For Some Reason, And Then Some Nights It's All Tangents And I Can't Find My Way, And Then Sometimes I Wind Up Just Talking About Something Completely Extemporaneously And Then Never Mention It Again Ever. It's Just Completely Different.

The First Tea Party Protest Was Scheduled For Inauguration Day. So What Were They Upset About? Which Part Of The Job He Was Doing Before He Even Did It Were They Upset About? Secondly, If They Claim To Be Upset With Government Corruption, Government Takeover, Crazy Spending, Where Were They From 2000 To 2008? Right? And Why Weren't They Protesting The Stolen Elections?

If The Audience Is Responding Very Well To Comedians That Are Hacks, And I Don't Do Well, I Don't Feel As Bad, Because I Feel Like Their Taste Is Different Than Mine. They're Laughing At Somebody I Would Never Laugh At, So That Makes It Okay, Because Obviously Our Tastes Are Not In The Same Place. And Comedy Is Subjective, So I Feel Like Maybe The Failure Wasn't All Mine. I Don't Think They Ever Would Have Really Enjoyed Me. So Sometimes That's A Little Easier, But Not Much.
