I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy, go on this diet and you'll be thinner, have your teeth whitened, people will love you more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That's the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I'm wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
I think I've always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole 'shut up and smile' theory. I haven't ever swallowed that pill so easily, although I tried.
In American culture we are supposed to take a pill when we're depressed or in grief as opposed to actually feeling.
No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along.
I've been pilloried so many times that I begin to expect it now.
One sees more and more people who are miserable and demented and you feel it would be both kind and wise to leave them a few pills.
We're more effective than birth control pills.
It's really frightening, American food on the whole. That's what always strikes me, coming from Europe: There's just so much of it! Then you plop down in front of the TV and watch ads for Weight Watchers. 'Lose weight now!' Well, eat less!
Change is tough, people don't like it, but it is necessary. Take two aspirins and call me in the morning.
I'm careful, controlled, bodily conservative: if someone offered me a pill I'd only ever take a half.
