“I could get rejected for jobs in acting, directing, or writing for the rest of my life, but nothing would ever take away what the experience of directing my first feature film had taught me: that I know myself better than I think I do and that I know my worth better than others think they do.”
― Amber Tamblyn, Era of Ignition: Coming of Age in a Time of Rage and Revolution

“My body is a gift from my parents.
The temple of my soul, my mind, my heart.
My body is pride
a portrait of my land,
a love song.
My body is not yours to judge.
It is not yours to decide.
Not yours to criticize.
It's mine, mine alone, and no one else's.”
― Mayra Cuevas, Does My Body Offend You?

― Amber Tamblyn, Era of Ignition: Coming of Age in a Time of Rage and Revolution

bare chest in an exaggerated gesture.
“They’re just breasts, Malena. Everyone has them.”
