More From Martha Plimpton
- "I’m so sick of hearing how there’s no strong roles for women. I don’t care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there’s some depth there."
- "The word ‘equality’ shows up too much in our founding documents for anyone to pretend it’s not the American way."
- "It’s easier to lecture women on sexual morality than it is to explain why all Americans shouldn’t have comprehensive, fair, and equal health care coverage."
