I’m on the point where I am like, ‘You know what, let’s put it out there, and if people don’t like it, well, too bad for them.’”

“This is a career where you can sometimes be judged as much by how you look as by what you say. I hate it but that’s the truth. When I was younger, I was reticent to talk about — and be out about — my leg. I wanted to rise in my career by being me and not being judged by something like a birthmark. At 40, I want to be more open about it.”
