“The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.”
Jamie Lee Curtis

“Exchange the words 'have to' with 'get to.' Exchange the word 'can't' with 'unwilling.”
Jamie Lee Curtis

“If indeed it's a race
Then the chicks do the most
It isn't a brag
Or an estrogen boast
It's the women who've led me
With big open hearts
If not for their love
I'd have failed at the start.
And it's not just the mothers
I speak of them ALL
It's a woman there first
When somebody falls.

The multi of tasking
That's easy to tease
I dare a great man
To try it all, PLEASE!
So this is my shout out
My rallying cry
To women all over
I hold you up high
And though there are others
Who'll think this poem strange
It's the women who plant
The root of big change.”
Jamie Lee Curtis
