Quote

The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.

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
Image
And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that

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.
Amber Tamblyn
Image
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.

Just because you grow up in the public eye doesn't mean that you're immune to the same sort of issues and feelings that any other woman would go through.

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

This will be the fourth time I've seen this film. I'm very proud of it and I think it's a great movie for women of any age. And almost every single man I've talked to has admitted to crying.

I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it
