The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE. Support these women and do not look at these pictures.
Feminists believe that men and women should have the same opportunities. If you are a feminist you believe in equal rights as a whole. That’s not a concept you can really shoot down.
I deserved kisses. I deserved to be treated like a piece of meat but also respected for my intellect.
I went to schools that were small enough that basically everyone was in a play. I played a bouncing ball in a production of Alice in Wonderland and a fat man in an Italian commedia dell’arte play. I was given some small chances.
I would be a horrible girlfriend at this point in my life, because I’m both needy and unavailable.
When I was nine, I wrote a vow of celibacy on a piece of paper and ate it.
I wanted to be a poet. I had a really romantic idea about what that would mean. My parents knew some poets, and I liked how they dressed and acted, but I didn’t really acknowledge that I only liked reading some bits of poetry while I was peeing or something.
I didn’t have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
It’s almost like when you’re young, your friends take on the romance role, and then guys take on the role of your friends later.
I can’t imagine a passionate affair with a native man.
I remember asking my mom, “Do you think that I will ever have enough money to live outside of your house?” And she would be like, “You just never know.”
I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit.
If someone doesn’t answer your email within six hours, it means they hate you.
I learned that people are much more game to mock their own personas than you would think.
Scandal has made wine and popcorn seem like a viable, even healthful, meal.
Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.
I have to take my shoes off, you guys.
I was raised on the internet.
I mean, I – it’s so funny, I am, you know, I am, you know, a working woman out in the world, but I still live with my parents half the time. I’ve been sort of taking this very long, stuttering period of moving out.
You should always go where there is a ‘you-shaped’ hole in the world.
You don’t need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
