Quote

Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.

Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, I get rejected for a living. And that's true.

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you
Amber Tamblyn
Image
And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.

People in real life cuss God out when they're angry. That's all real.

I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.

If it comes back, I think that Friday night is not a good night to be on.

Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it

One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.
Amber Tamblyn

But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have
Amber Tamblyn

I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God

After I saw my first poem published, I became interested in the immortalization of words and the fact that you could put something out there that you felt and that meant something to you, and that it could be interpreted by many different people to mean many different things.
