When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.
It's very weird waking around a corner and being nose to nose with myself on the side of a bus. And Times Square - that's the craziest one.
I enjoyed entertaining people since I was a little girl. There was nothing better than making people laugh. That, and the need to express myself in a safe environment.
I like to be able to present myself in two or three different ways because I've never really wanted to rest on my laurels and be something that people expected.
