My parents always told my sister and me that if we wanted to, we could be doctors and lawyers, like my father and his brothers, like some of their women friends. Denise and I had art in our sights, though.

I was forced to lie to my father by doctors and relatives. I made that choice and agreed with them, and I will never, ever get over it.
