Quotes

  • [on disputing rumors about misogyny on The Idol fo Vanity Fair] What is amazing to me is no one's listening. I've not seen that before in all my days, such a dogged "We refuse to change the narrative," I especially want to say to all the feminists, "Go f*ck yourself." All these women that I'm working with are talking about their experience and you're not listening. You're not listening!
