Quotes
 I
got beat up up in Texas because my bootlaces were the wrong color.
I
had a hard time in my teens. It's a shock to realize you suddenly have
to look like Christy Turlington. Everyone expects you to have long legs
and big breasts at thirteen. I wasn't very tall but I had a voluptuous
body, to put it politely.
It was hard for me to make the transition when I was a teenager. You see teenage girls in movies, they're always tall with big breasts and long hair and perfect skin. I weighed 20 pounds more than I do now and I was very insecure and wore nothing but black and all these hats down over my eyes and did nothing but read like a maniac and drink lots of coffee.
I
think what happens is that people who can't vent their rage seek
scapegoats. Also for these young guys, a lot of it is hormonal. When
you're in a room full of them, it's like testosterone city -- it's
crazy. It's like there're chemicals in the air and they get off on them.
As I was being born my father claims that he was playing his fiddle/violin to soothe my mother and when my head came out he says that I looked right into his eyes and that my eyes were the color of electric turquoise and in Persian the word for turquoise is Fairuza, it also means Sacred or Precious one....don't ask
me...
I
want love, because love is the best feeling in the whole world.
I
was worried, I just couldn't relate to those neo-Nazi white power groups
who hate everybody who isn't a white protestant. Those feelings were
alien to me, so I went and found several groups of skinheads and hung
out with them and tried to find out why they feel that way.
It's
just not part of who I am to hate black people or Mexican people. so
instead of trying to develop that, what I did -- and this will sound
bizarre -- was use my hatred for racists or people who kill gay men just
because they're gay. I mean, there are people who beat other people up
because they don't like what they're wearing.
Skinhead
women are expected to stay at home making babies and cooking food. But
if it makes them happy, so be it. |
