Quotes

#Quote
1[on the song "Blurred Lines"] It's our number one export, smut. Yeah, you're welcome. Violent smut. We like it hard and fast.
2My things are universal truths. Male-female interaction, the way women think. It doesn't matter what kind of woman you are. I try to tap into what makes us women. And I think that's why girls like it so much - because I'm letting them know all those crazy thoughts you thought were just in your head, they're in my head too. It's okay. Let's take a breath.
3I feel like our society wants women to be ashamed of their bodies and be insecure. And I was like, 'What? Society told me to be in shape, so I'm in shape. And now I can't show it off?'
