[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.

More quotes by June Diane Raphael
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 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.

[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.
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.

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

I'm not referring to an up-and-coming comedian. I am referring to the host of The Profit. He invests his own money into small businesses that need to be turned around. He becomes partners in them. And I love the way he does business, and I love his integrity, and I love where his head's at, and I love what he has to say, and I learn from him.

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
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.
June Diane Raphael
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.
June Diane Raphael
I've referred to [Marcus Lemonis] as my celebrity crush. I'm totally describing my celebrity crush, and that was not the question. But I am a fan of his. I really am.
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.

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.

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.
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 think, is a cultural thing, too. You know, everyone wants to see the baby. Everybody's bringing gifts for the baby.

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

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

There was that moment of, Oh, my parents are watching Columbo and I hate it to No, I love this show, too. And I feel like, for me, that was around 11 or 12, where I could actually join my parents in their viewing and wasn't so irritated that they were always watching Columbo.
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.
