mother cat unpacking
I'm Catholic. My mother and I were unpacking and she found my diaphragm. I had to tell her it was a bathing cap for my cat.
reflection thinking giving
I just think that also controlling women is a way to control the whole narrative. And so I think when you've oppressed a people for a really long time, you're terrified to give them any power because they may have some reflection of how horrible you've been and you're terrified of being treated that way. All that we want is to be our best selves, but that's hard for them to understand.
opportunity lucky whole-life
Opportunities present themselves to me. That's how my whole life has been pretty much. I've been lucky.
people corporations nations
We live in a nation where corporations are people.
political lines matter
The political satirist usually votes against their own interests, but the bottom line is that it doesn't really matter.
fun voice admire
It`s always fun when somebody who you admire and respect is the voice - is your voice, as a viewer.
political insane elements
We've got a deeply flawed political system with an insane overreaching extremist element, with a Supreme Court that is completely loony.
guy married jerk
I'm not sure I'm okay with 2 guys gettin' married, but I don't wanna be a jerk about it.

views people feelings
If you're a woman and you've decided to step in front of people on any kind of platform and say that you have feelings about anything, you are committing a radical act. People view it as such, so you might as well actually commit a radical act.
pregnancy home thinking
And home pregnancy tests? They are so last century. Nowadays, I think there's an app that calls your iPhone to warn you that if you finish that third cosmo, you may wind up with a wombmate.
baby school catholic
One of the first things Catholic school taught me is that babies were born sinners. You sucked before you took your first breath.
nebraska earth hell
Nebraska is proof that hell is full and the dead are walking the earth.
strong fighting rights
Nowadays everybody's a feminist - male, female, trans. Gender's so passé they don't even care anymore. They know what equal rights are, they know what it's about, and everybody is standing toe-to-toe strong about it and really fighting.
