Some reviewers have read this as cynicism but I don't see it that way. When I say "I am so sick <br> of pretending to be me," it's exhaustion at the everyday performance, in life, in art, even in our most intimate encounters.
There was a time when everyone remembered that stupid thing about me not getting out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. These days, it's far more important to me that I'm part of a team which raises over $1 million a month for Aids. I'm much more proud of that, than that other old quote.
