Quotes
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity
status in a positive way. Most rape victims are women, so the bulk of
the discussion is loaded towards women. I thought I could find a way to
approach the subject of rape in such a way that men are going to
respond to it. My most devastating moment was when a 13-year-old girl
told me her story. At that moment, I realized just how important this
center really is. Nothing else had ever made me connect with reality
like that.
