“I've always been drawn to overexposure. Making myself big gives me a sense of security. Be the loudest in the room, the most opinionated, the one in the most revealing dress. Do the most. Being big also means becoming a target. But by inviting people's gaze and attention and therefore their attacks, I have a sense of more power, less vulnerability, since I'm the one putting myself out there.”
― Emily Ratajkowski, My Body

“I will proclaim all of my mistakes and contradictions, for all the women who cannot do so, for all the women we've called muses without learning their names, whose silence we mistook for consent. I stood on their shoulders to get here.”

“My mother seems to hold the way my beauty is affirmed by the world like a mirror, reflecting back to her a measure of her own worth.”

“I wonder how many women you've disregarded in your life, written off, because you assumed they had nothing to offer beyond the way they looked. How quickly they learned that the stuff in their heads was of less value than the shape of their bodies. I bet they were all smarter than you.”

“In these moments, I don't hesitate. I rise to the challenge; I want to pass the test. I want to make it seem like there is no power dynamic at all, like I'm simply doing my job. I will reveal my body as naturally and uneventfully as I might do anything else. I look down at my body and it doesn't feel like my own. It feels like something, but not me. They can look at me all they want, because they're right; my body is just a tool.”
― Emily Ratajkowski, My Body
