This creates a stronger identity for [United Artists], while putting all the mainstream identity at MGM.

For the artists, the benefit is that there is a label which embraces their identity and sexuality as part of their persona. In addition, they have the benefit of resources and clout of a major label to help them build their careers.

The VCCA has kept to its mission as well as any arts group I know. That mission is helping artists do their work, and that's more important than anything else.

I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.

A lot of artists fell in love with me over the years.

It's not about me, it's about the kids. As long as I can cover the rent, I'm happy.
