Rain: I'm not a model and I don't want to be a model, I'm an actor. It's just horrible. That's the card that has been dealt me and that's who I am. I am a unique beauty. I don't want to look like everybody else. I don't want to fit the cookie cutter mold.
Rain: Just because I'm a Pryor doesn't mean that I'm a standup comedian. I'm funny, but I'm not a standup by any means. I sing, I do many things...I really do consider myself John Leguizamo meets Bette Midler!
Rain was able to perform pieces of her one woman show for her father in his hospital room, but he was never able to get to the theatre to see her show. Since she acts as him in scenes, she acted out the parts for him, and asked his permission to use his old material. After seeing her perform it, he gave her his approval, and the show went on.
Rain and her sister Elizabeth developed a way to communicate with their father in his final days when he couldn't speak anymore. For certain questions they would blow kisses as answers, they would ask yes or no questions and he'd answer with a kiss. He also made sounds that they would figure out, but there were moments when he just couldn't communicate with anyone at all.
