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.

More quotes by 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
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
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.
June Diane Raphael
I was like, Everybody sees my characters. Nobody sees me!
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 think] everybody should see a dermatologist.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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
I do use the F word a lot, unfortunately.
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 think I certainly know that the space I want to work in is a fearless space.
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
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.
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
Of course, when you're a parent, you can never really be sick.
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 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.
