In the confessional interview he gave to the magazine "Life&Style" gave her take on prostitution and satisfied the curiosity of those wondering if she's ever hit the pavement.
"Prostitution for you is something acceptable;»
"Christ approached the harlot first. People approached her with stoning. Hats off to those who do this work, because he wants guts. A mother may prostitute herself to save her child. Most, it is also a matter of survival. At that time, these women don't kill. Nor do they sell their souls. Because if they sold her they couldn't go with a second customer. They lend their bodies for five minutes. I only criticize jobs that cause death to others, like being a drug dealer or trading bodies for prostitution”.
"Have you ever walked a sidewalk?;»
"No. I never got to that point.".
"You could if the going got tough;»
"If the going gets tough, you have other things to do. This is the easy fix. Pure money. A woman who prostitutes herself, he can make the same amount of money in a day as someone makes in a month. Money is sweet to some people".
“You consider yourself not of this world;»
"Each of us belongs to another world. My hands are shaking. If I don't make it out of acting, I will get out of my painting and crafts. If I don't make any of them, I will put on a rasa and go to live with my aunt, who is a nun. I will also eat my fresh eggs, I will also drink my fresh milk!».
"They look at you differently on the street;»
"I don't think I look what I am, for sure, when I leave the house I don't wear a tag that says ”Hello, I'm transgender”. I feel though, that people expect me to tell them things that I have never done in my life".
“That sign anyway, he put you in the field and offered you publicity…”
"No. I pulled her off me and threw her. I decided to declare, for the last time, that I am transgender. The time has come, at last, to bury in the core of the earth all that they have said about me. I will never do another interview to talk about my past. I wasn't born to give interviews".
