Absolutely. I am friends with people now that are in Hollywood, and I asked them, “How do y’all survive?” Clearly I’m not Hollywood, but my face is probably on the level of a D-lister where it is somewhat recognizable. I have to think about what state I am in, what type of reception may I get? Do I need to add a hat to my collection? I’ve tried to change my hair a number of times.
When I was running for the State House, I had a guerrilla approach. It’s not the way that consultants tell you to campaign. They always are like, “Oh, it’s a waste of money. You’ve got to be surgical.” But I never had that attitude because you never know who you would touch or hit. The key is education. Teachers are often taught that they should understand scholars learn in different ways — auditory, visual, those that really need to be hands-on to learn.
