Like, who are we?

And why can't we see ourselves on screen?

And there has to just be choice.

You're never going to have everybody doing the same thing.

Some people are always going to strive for something else, and that's okay.

But I think that women have to have options.

We have to have choices and be like, what pen will I pick up and what will I write?

What's my next chapter?

And I want women to pick up a pen and go, oh, this is a really exciting chapter.

where I get to show up as myself and be brave and courageous and, you know, fight off some of my demons, learn new things, take risks.

I've already fallen over, like you say, so I know how to get up.

Okay, how's that for a life hack?

Becoming more amused with yourself and the wonderful wacky world around you.
