I am a person. Helen Mirren in Solos

My version


How unfair not to see me. How unfair not to know that I have things inside of me too. I have things I feel and I say and I think and I know. I have funny jokes sometimes, really funny jokes, jokes that the late night hosts would use on their shows if they knew them.

Yeah, I’m bold in that way. And I’m wickedly smart. I mean, sometimes I think of things, you know, inventions and things that if I had the time or the money. 

And heck, I’m sexy in here too. I’m sexy. I can put on a red lip. I can put on some rouge. I can dance and love and excite and need and deserve and exist.

And I am a person.
