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.

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

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.

I read [The Women's Room] in my 20s, and I was like, I understand this now. And now I've become a mom and read it again and truly understand on a different level what one of the main characters goes through as a mother.
