When you're a beautiful woman, and you're on magazine covers, and you're celebrated for the way that you look, what's it like as you move farther away from that point in time?

I intend to be fully integrated into the story, into the history, into the future of what's coming. And for that to happen, I have to be disengaged from this aesthetic. - Tosca Reno
