On the first day, God created the navy blue blazer with brass buttons and khakis. And I looked and saw that it was not good. On the second day, He made the ill-fitting all-black suit. And I looked and saw that it was kinda bland. On the third day he created the boxy grey suit -- and things were starting to get bleak. On the fourth day, I cried. The hunt for my bar mitzvah suit was failing miserably.

Everyone wants a slim figure. Everyone gets breasts done. Everyone fixes up their face if it's not ideal, you know? Everyone strives for the golden mean. It's global now.

Please, please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks it doesn’t matter how people are dressed or how they move their bodies - we should still treat them with respect and decency. And enough with the slut shaming. Please. Goddamn, I’m not responsible for some perverted 45 year-old dad lusting after me because I have a sparkly dress on and a big ass for a teenager. And if you think I am, then maybe you’re part of the problem.

I don't think that it's healthy for young girls to be looking at these beauty magazines and watching TV and these shows and thinking [that's the standard]...you look at French film, Spanish film - they're a little more open to quirks and human nature - that we're not all symmetrical, not all the same shape...we need more of that.

If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there’s a guy that has tattoos all over his face - white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere - I’m walking back to the other side of the street…While we all have our prejudices and bigotries, we have to learn that it’s an issue that we have to control…

In my 20s, I used to cry about why I wasn't thinner or prettier - but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like: 'I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes’…I was an idiot...It's a decade of tears.
