To start with, I'm curious about your look. This isn't a Mercy Johnson regular look. Is it?
(Laughs) Actually, it's not a regular look. I just had it done last week and nobody has seen it yet. I had the hair cut on a movie set Desmond versus UNICEF against Cancer where l acted as a cancer patient, so I had to cut it. I didn't want people seeing it, so I've been moving around with a wig.

Women, I know are emotionally attached of their hair. How much did you get paid to cut it off ?
