"I'm grotesquely sentimental"

LOOK AT HER CURSE. LOOK AT IT.

“I can’t even describe the intensity of my admiration for Barbra. She was a feminist in Hollywood when it was extremely unpopular, which as a result, meant she missed out on many nominations/awards but made history on more than one occasion; she’s dealt with the pressure of changing her features by embracing it even more, which has made many insecure people feel more confident in themselves; she also has put millions into tackling the inequality of heart disease research, due to women dying more often of heart disease than all cancers combined. Barbra also has this ridiculously flawless drive to succeed in anything she puts her mind to and the freaking amazing voice that tugs at my heart strings every single time I hear it. Happy Birthday Babs, you deserve every ounce of happiness you have now and more. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many, love always.” - Thebeautyofbarbrastreisand

"I certainly embrace all the movement that’s going on these days about equality for women and equal rights. In general, I would apply that to all nationalities and all races. I think we do need—and truthfully it sounds Pollyanna-ish to say so—more awareness, generosity, and compassion than we have right now. But in terms of feminism, I embrace it wholeheartedly. Not in a kind of militant way, but I’ve always known that it matters." -Julie Andrews
