What is the story of my life? I have no fucking idea. I just think there’s this certain assumption that when a man tells the truth it’s the truth. And when, as a woman, I go to tell the truth I feel like I have to negotiate the way I’ll be perceived. I feel like there’s always the suspicion around a woman’s truth. The idea that you’re exaggerating. I don’t just sit there and be like ‘this, this, this, this, this’. There’s this whole fear that I’m gonna finally have fucking stepped to the plate and told the truth and someone’s gonna say ‘Eh, I don’t think so.’
