A Quote by Jessica Chastain

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.

I love story-writing because I can (more or less, on occasion) actually DO it. That's really the truth.
