More quotes by June Diane Raphael
I never sleep in. By the way, when we're like, We alternate waking up for the kids, the other person's waking up at 7 a.m. It's not like you're waking up at 10. It's like, I'm really going to give you a treat and you're gonna get your ass up at 7 instead of 5:59. Which is when our son wakes up.

That's one of my greatest strengths. I'm a Scorpio rising - we're very decisive. I'm very good at cutting things off that don't feel right.

The only thing I really get snobby about is - not food or wine or certainly not television - I would say I get snobby about skin-care regimens and people taking care of their skin in the right way.

[Postpartum] is a raw time when you need your friends and family to swoop in in a very real way.

I do a lot of coaching with my friends on how to get out of relationships with their agents, boyfriends, contractors, whatever, because that's easy for me.

I love being a mom. Being a mother is my favorite thing ever.

I remember watching 21 Jump Street and thinking I'm attracted to Johnny Depp - What are these feelings? I remember all of this, the first time you feel things. I mean, yes, boys in class, whatever, but to specifically go back to those experiences, it's kind of amazing.

For me, I was the most vulnerable and needed the most in my postpartum experience and got the least. It was just kind of a drop-off. That would be my focus - on the woman, afterwards.

Years later we were watching 90210 [with my sister].

Of course, when you're a parent, you can never really be sick.

I'll keep this as nonpartisan and diplomatic as possible - but for those of us whose heads are kind of spinning off and are really engaged in what's happening right now and trying to effect change where we can, when we can, I think we also need to express ourselves and express our anger and also find joy in things like The Golden Girls right now.
June Diane Raphael
That's my big fear, and not enjoying things as much as I could and realizing actually how awesome life is right now.

It certainly wasn't taught in school beyond the idea of girls can do anything that boys can do - I understood that kind of pop culture feminism. I did not understand anything else about feminism.

Another thing I also recommend is washing your face with white towels, little white towels instead of your hands. Other towels have dye in them and, with water on them, I just don't mess around with that. This way you're not getting your hands back on your dirty face as you're washing it. You're going to see what's coming off.

I'm more focused or try to be more focused on my acting and writing and comedy and let the other stuff fall where it may.

I do use the F word a lot, unfortunately.

It's very hard, I think especially for women, to not take it in and to not be super conscious of the way that you're being seen, which is of course completely antithetical to the work you want to do, which is completely free and bold and truthful and honest and brave.

I was like, Everybody sees my characters. Nobody sees me!

I'm not a dermatologist, but I had someone explain it to me, and I've seen the effect on my own skin over the years. So I feel like we need to protect our faces, especially those of us who live in Southern California, from this goddamn sun that's on us all day.

[The Women's Room] was the first thing I read that explained a lot of the feelings I was having and a lot of the rage and the feeling uncomfortable in my body and knowing that I was feeling a certain way in the world, but I didn't have the language for it.
