A small, varied set of reflections.
This is a modest, loosely connected collection, grounded mainly in a historical comparison of the scale of wartime scientific effort between two countries. Other entries touch briefly on film ratings and the kinds of scripts actors look for. Related quotes appear in our Life quotes.

I get really excited about other female acts. I feel inspired when I see another women succeeding in music because it makes me realize that if they can do it, I can do it.
- Brains

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm really interested in male and female brains and whether female brains or male brains are better at maths.

The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
- Over

I think for anyone - male or female - in improv, the biggest thing to get over is the fear. I think every improviser has that.
- Counterpoint

- Nov 07, 2020
Being a boss takes guts and tenacity. Being a boss takes hustle and strength. Getting to the level of boss takes hard work - often times, harder than our male counterpoint because in many industries, we're fighting our way into a boys' club.
- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020
My instinct is to surround myself with the company of wise, witty, wonderful women, and I have a great bank of female friends of all ages.
- Friendships
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm used to one-dimensional female friendships. It's become a kind of trope.
- Discredit
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The anorexic is out to prove how little she needs, how little she can survive on; she is out, in a sense, to discredit her nurturers, while at the same time making a public crisis out of her need for nurture. Such vulnerability and such power: it brings the whole female machinery to a halt.
- Eating

- Nov 07, 2020
An eating disorder epidemic suggests that love and disgust are being jointly marketed, as it were; that wherever the proposition might first have come from, the unacceptability of the female body has been disseminated culturally.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
Why, instead of bringing order - planting a tree, building a house, washing socks or reading a fairytale to a child - does one need to engage in doing nothing, then after a good booze, taking up a club and smashing everything?
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Award shows, like the Grammys, were tough on us early in hip-hop, not even televising our categories or splitting them up on best male or female or any of that. We had to earn them.
- Deficiencies
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am a professor of astronomy and physics at Yale University, where I teach an introductory class in cosmology. I see the deficiencies that first-year students show up with.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like Dubai because of the sheer scale on which the city is built. It is completely futuristic but with a warm, old-world ethos.
- Marriage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Homosexuality is against nature. Sexual expression is permitted only within marriage, between man and woman, male and female. Anything else is an abnormality and is against nature.
- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In life, I have male friends. They're just friends, and there's nothing going on, and it's beautiful.
