I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married.

I consider being female such a unique gift, such a sacred joy, in ways that run so deep I can't articulate them. It's a special kind of privilege to be born into the body you wanted, to embrace the essence of your gender even as you recognize what you are up against. Even as you seek to redefine it.

Not to speak for Jason [Benjamin], but he's a straight married dude with two kids.

Guys warning girls not to fall in love with them is so truly douchey that it should have a higher success rate.

I feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.

I didn't drink in the essence of the classroom. I didn't take legible notes or dance all night. I thought I would marry my boyfriend and grow old and sick of him. I thought I would keep my friends, and we'd make different, new memories. None of that happened. Better things happened.

I am thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.
