Women knew that a land where men were contented, uncontradicted ans safe in possession of unpunctured vanity was likely to be a very pleasant place for women to live.

“I don't care what straight people do, I don't care what gay people do. I don't care what nobody do. That's they business. I just care about what I do. You know what I'm saying?”
“Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.”
