Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was interviewing for a promotion from secretary to daytime casting coordinator at ABC in 1979. I was excited, but some felt that I wasn’t tough enough to manage a job like that. I was humiliated in front of a crowd of strangers by a strange man who harassed me because I was too nice.

#2 The mime was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and he attacked any woman who made the mistake of stepping through the crowd. I waited for him to see me, and when he did, I lifted my can of pepper spray and sprayed him in the face.

#3 I was walking down the street with my canister when I was attacked by a mime. I dropped my canister, and a larger mime came and picked it up. I turned around, and the two of us struggled to get to the canister. I got there first, and grabbed it.

#4 I grew up in Israel in the 1980s, and my father’s mission in life was to make sure that I grew up to be a real man. He took me shooting every Saturday when I was four years old, and when I was six or seven years old, he took advantage of Israel’s surprisingly relaxed car-rental insurance policies and rented a car to take me on driving lessons.
