I think we should stop asking people in their 20s what they ‘want to do’ and start asking them what they don’t want to do. Instead of asking students to ‘declare their major’ we should ask students to ‘list what they will do anything to avoid.’ It just makes a lot more sense.

Meryl Streep is not here tonight. She has the flu – and I hear she’s amazing in it.
Creativity is connected to passion – that light inside that drives you.
I just want to help other women achieve as much as they can in society without restraints being imposed on us. It’s the most natural and normal thing to want to defend your rights to equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and everything that comes with that.
