“I consider myself a relatively happy person, and I love and am grateful for my life.”

“Stuck in an unhappy marriage on the path to divorce, my father concluded that abortion should be the solution to the unplanned, unwanted pregnancy that was me. Despite an unknown marital future, my mother fought back.”

“Life comes for everyone, and no one is immune. And when hard times come, you should never look down on the work that every normal person does.”

“How could I argue that I was pro-choice on the basis of liberty if my conclusion was infringing upon not just the rights, but the very existence of another individual? And more importantly, an individual with no representation who played no role in creating the situation?”

“Unlike the ick trend (which is usually just absurd), the beige flag trend is really just simplifying and normalizing the fact that everyone has quirks. This is all a part of what makes human nature and finding your person so fun and sweet.”

“Actually, my first professional job was singing opera with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.”

“If anything, the singles' standards seem to be getting stronger as they mature and gain more confidence in what they want in a significant other, which I think is positive - so long as your standards don't include a list of unnecessary 'icks.'”

“Singles don't need more advice. They need phone numbers. So be the help, connect your friends, and become part of the solution. This is a huge issue in our culture, and there has to be a way to fix this. So let's stop with the unhelpful advice and start making connections.”

“On the whole, we need to stop pretending women don't like masculine men, and women need to stop trying to convince themselves otherwise.”

“What we put inside of our bodies definitely affects the outside of our bodies.”

“What is the secret to a happy life? Is there a secret? Is there only one secret? These are the questions that, at the most foundational level, everyone asks throughout life. They are a part of the human condition.”

“While I was a student at UCLA, I had two 'Communist Manifestos' chucked at my head - literally.”

“In previous years, Taylor Swift has been outspoken on the American political front as depicted in her documentary, 'Miss Americana.' In 2018, she spoke out in favor of Democratic Senator candidate Phil Bredesen and vehemently against Marsha Blackburn.”

“I'm an actor, I can play anything. That's literally what I'm hired to do.”

“Like many issues that have been exploited for political gains, sexual harassment and abuse are real, and incidents of these horrific acts happen every day.”
