"If you ask anyone who knew me five years ago, they'll tell you that I've always been reserved about men. I write about sex because sex is natural, but being promiscuous to me has never been cool, and I don't ever pretend around my male peers that [it is] cool. Since I've come into this game, I've gotten nothing but respect from every man I've worked with, and I pride myself on that. If I were to have sex with someone in the industry, you would have to know that I made the first move. My reputation, in that way, precedes me, and I love that.
