Quotes
- “But you know, I’ve always been excited about getting older. I love getting wiser and having more experience. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have vulnerabilities and discomforts around my age, but trying to pretend or hide the things that I feel insecure or uncomfortable about doesn’t make them any less comfortable, you know?”
- “It’s actually a real honour to get older. Not everybody has that honour, with everything going on in this country, with all of the violence and the children that don’t get to live that long…”
- “I want to be in a relationship with myself as I am. I don’t want to be fighting with an image that I put out that I can’t keep up with.”
- “But then when you hit high school you start interacting with the patriarchy.”
- “I didn’t see enough examples of different versions of how a woman can find happiness and joy and power and sensuality, sexuality, all of that, without it being through the lens of how I’m seen by a man.”
- “But what I would prefer is that I’m the poster child for living my life on my terms. And that there’s a version of that for everyone.”
