I Think I'd Be In

I've Always Had This Unresolved Desire To Prove That I Could Get A Ph.d., Or Contribute Something Else To The World.

Americans Have An Interesting Conundrum, A Black And White Line: You're On One Side Or The Other Of Puritanism Or Licentiousness. But That Gray Area Where People Abide, Between Their Ears Or On The Internet, Needs To Be Fleshed Out More In Terms Of Permission Granted. I Think A Lot Of Women Are Contained Within The Parentheses Of Shoulds And Role-play. It's All About Entitlement And History. It's All About Upper-body Strength - And Exacting Your Will.

My Roles Are In Some Way Like Children To Me. You Don't Ever Really Want To Scrape One Off Your Shoe.

If People Knew What Made Hits They'd Make More Of Them, So To Have The Illusion Of Control Over One's Career Isn't Something I Can Even Pretend To Have.

When I Was 12, All I Wanted Was To Be Good At School, And To Do Something Admirable, Something You Can't Take Away From Me Because I'm Not Popular Or Beautiful Enough.
