What he likes least about his job are
the early calls and posing for pictures.
“When the camera is moving, it’s one thing,
and you can play make believe.
But when the camera is looking at you
all I can say is oh my nose is big,
I feel uncomfortable, I’m not a model!
When your picture is on the cover you are not really you,
everything is perfect but in the morning,
when I wake up I only see
in the mirror a ugly mug to shave. ”
