i find it exciting, you know. i mean, i m not saying i can t wait to get back to it, but i mean, i can say that, kind of, you know? the thing about tara was that she really loved her work. but tulsa is actually called the buckle of the bible belt where fundamentalism is everything. so for tara to pursue a relationship with god while maintaining this love of prostitution seemed particularly challenging. remember, you need to be studying up on the holy spirit. turning tricks, i think the excitement, i mean, everything. i m like an adrenaline junkie. i don t want to quit, no. coming up that s $2.5 million you ve made in your career. tara goddard shares the highs and lows of her life as a prostitute.
