The Importance in Standing Up for Your Values
Tyson told Elle in her recent cover story that even in older age, she’s had to deal with people who’ve asked her to do things for TV and film that she hasn’t wanted to. But she has no time for it. “It became quite an incident—though not boisterous in any way,” she said about a recent situation. “I said, ‘There isn’t anything that I find important in what you’re asking me to do.’ Finally, it was worked out, but they weren’t happy about it. I did the show, and I was nominated for an Emmy. [Laughs] So you never know. I can’t go against my grain.”
