[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 do use the F word a lot, unfortunately.
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
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
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 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.
June Diane Raphael
[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'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
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 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.
June Diane Raphael
I love being a mom. Being a mother is my favorite thing ever.
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
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
I'm afraid of death, obviously.
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
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.
June Diane Raphael
Years later we were watching 90210 [with my sister].
June Diane Raphael
I think I certainly know that the space I want to work in is a fearless space.
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
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.
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.
June Diane Raphael
