Quote

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.

[The Women's Room by Marilyn French] was in my house somewhere, blew my mind, I was changed forever. And then I continued to read it at various points in my life, and it sort of opens up in a different way.

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

I don't know where it's come from, but after many years of many different products, I feel like I can speak as an authority on a lot of them.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I do use the F word a lot, unfortunately.

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.

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.

I'm not necessarily [into] pricey products, and I'm not recommending super-fancy stuff. It's more the consistency and the sunblock of it all, engaging in that process - I can be a little snobby about it.

I got so into moisturizing, my skin started overproducing oil. That's my story. There's a lot to talk about, for sure.

I'm certainly much happier when I feel that the work is good.
