MC: What is your greatest personal victory?
JM: My biggest victory was realizing I don't have to please everyone.

MC: What's the hardest thing you have had to overcome?
JM: Being honest about my feelings. For example, my relationship with my father has changed because I am able to say what I need. When I was a little girl, I put my father on this platform. I always craved a relationship with him I didn't think I could have. I went to therapy and began to understand why. Now he's become my mate, not just someone I look up to. We connect on the same plane.

MC: Describe how the world would change for you if violence against women did not exist.
JM: I'd stop walking with my keys in between moy fingers at night in case I need to punch someone in the eye. I would enjoy my walk home.

MC: What is sexy?
JM: The sexiest thing in the world is kissing. When your mouth doesn't want to be anywhere else but inside someone else's mouth.

MC: What is beautiful?
JM: Right after a great yoga class, when everything is open: my heart, my breasts... whem I'm standing on the ground and I feel so intact in my body, while my head is in a spiritual place.

MC: If your vagina were to wear clothes, what would it wear?
JM: A pair of faded Levi's and a white T-shirt.

MC: If your vagina were to speak, what would it say?
JM: "Love me".
