She recently said in an interview, “I’ve had men hitting on me, sadly, since I was really young. At eight, I had men putting dimes in my hands saying, ‘Call me. It’d be so great to f**k when you’re of legal age’.And just horrible stuff. I never slept my way to the top ever. There was never one time I’ve ever compromised anything. That type of spirit that you bring just informs everybody that’s around you. I learned to keep my sexual energy to myself where there’s nothing about me that seemed approachable. I got very good at handling men in a way that didn’t anger them. And at the same time using wit and usually humour to defuse the situation and to inform them, ‘P.S. Not available that way’. I’ve heard plenty of stories that the opposite happens. I saw what women would give up for a compliment. I felt men were willing to take advantage if they saw something vulnerable.”
