Why am I applying for real jobs?

Because that's what I want. I loved the RNZ gig, though the hours were a total pain. I want to pay the rent with my editing or video producing skills. Though the cannabis café would also be sweet -- that's totally a future dream for me. 👍 - I'd rather not be famous. I'd rather be Richard Pearse. It's not possible to persuade me to act, and please stop marginalising me as 'just a queen', when clearly I'm far more than that.


I'm a queen who has written two operas and a concerto that everyone's sniffing around, despite their reticence to accept my choice of guitarist. It's not possible to persuade me and I will not consent to any once ripoff ideas.


Those people should grow up and realise I'm a grown-up too. This is my life. This is how I choose to live it. This is my decision, and I decided to give up on acting when I was in the hospital after the Auckland episode.


I'm a good producer. I might even become a great one, but people who want me in front of the camera honestly want me to die ... they're like the paparazzi who killed Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana. 🥝 I'm not some mysterious guru -- my website shows where I live, and my email too.
