One afternoon a girl walked by in a bikini and my cousin Janet scoffed, โLook at the hips on her.โ I panicked. What about the hips? Were they too big? Too small? What were my hips? I didnโt know hips could be a problem. I thought there was just fat or skinny. This was how I found out that there are an infinite number of things that can be โincorrectโ on a womanโs body.
Tina FeyI was taken to an examining room where a big butch nurse practitioner came in and asked me if I was pregnant. โNo way!โ Was I sexually active? โNope!โ Had I ever been molested? โWell,โ I said, trying to make a joke, โOprah says the only answers to that question are โYesโ and โI donโt remember.โ โ I laughed. We were having fun. The nurse looked at me, concerned/annoyed.
Tina FeyI keep my eyes on the sea, waiting to be rocketed into it on a wave of fire. I'll be ready for it to happen and that way it won't happen. It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hyper-vigilance, but its my lot in life.
Tina FeyI think the philosophy will continue to be what it always was; which was, let's keep throwing a bunch of things at the wall, and see what sticks.
