The standards by which a woman’s appearance is judged on the news are different to men, there’s no question about that.

As utility companies work to achieve full compliance with clean water standards, Congress must ensure our nation’s most vulnerable are not priced out of life’s most essential resource.

I listened to this book, ‘The Beauty Myth,’ about how beauty standards are messing with women in Western society, and I was like, ‘I don’t know this.’ I have no idea, and I don’t pretend to, but now I’m more aware of it because I’ve engaged on that frequency.

The freakiest thing about working on a Russo set is that the standards are so insanely high for everyone in every department that they don’t police you through stuff.
