KAWEESI:
But don’t you ever wonder, peering through life’s glass pane,
Who you would be, if fate rewrote the game?
If I could choose a fiction, a character to wear,
Whose story would I covet, whose burdens would I bear?
NABUKENYA:
(Snorts)
Covet burdens? You actors are a curious breed.
Give me a simple life, my bills are all I need
To worry over. This glamour, the lights, the make-believe,
It pays the rent, that’s all a sensible girl should conceive…

I am a many-faced creature,
A weathercock of the soul.
I can change my colors to suit my mood,
And my personality to suit my audience.
