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.

More quotes by June Diane Raphael
One thing that I would like to do that I've seen them not do that well is take women all through the process of the postpartum period in a more meaningful way. That would be my agenda.
June Diane Raphael
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.
June Diane Raphael
I'm afraid of death, obviously.
June Diane Raphael
Anyone who knows my professional history has known I've gone through a gazillion managers and agents or whatever. I'm like, This doesn't feel right - moving on. I don't really suffer fools, which makes it easier for me.
June Diane Raphael
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'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.

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.
June Diane Raphael
I know that it feels dangerous and scary and working without a net, so to speak. And working without a net, for me - maybe other women do it a totally different way - means being vanity-free. That's how, as an artist, I know that I need to work.
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.
June Diane Raphael
I'm certainly much happier when I feel that the work is good.
June Diane Raphael
I'm like, You could not wake up in the sixes? Does it really gotta be in the fives? Because the 5 really feels like nighttime. I don't like the day starting at 5.
June Diane Raphael
[I think] everybody should see a dermatologist.
June Diane Raphael
I was like, Everybody sees my characters. Nobody sees me!
June Diane Raphael
I had several moms who knew and didn't bring gifts for the baby and instead brought me food, candles, journals - the women who were like, Actually, I know this is a tough time for you, and it's much more important that I show up here instead of to the baby shower.
June Diane Raphael
That's the only thing I feel like, No, no, no, no - I know the way. I know the way. I know where you are and you need to come with me, and we need to take care of our skin.
June Diane Raphael
My perfect Sunday is waking up at 10 - which, you know, those days are over for me - but waking up at 10, breakfast with children, hanging out with well-behaved children.
June Diane Raphael
I think, is a cultural thing, too. You know, everyone wants to see the baby. Everybody's bringing gifts for the baby.
June Diane Raphael
I got so into moisturizing, my skin started overproducing oil. That's my story. There's a lot to talk about, for sure.
June Diane Raphael
[Postpartum] is a raw time when you need your friends and family to swoop in in a very real way.
June Diane Raphael
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.
