QUOTES:
“The point is that we're in this together, and that to me is what's missing. The fact that this is unusual. That a woman would support another woman, that hype women would be an anomaly.” - Jamie Lee Curtis
“I couldn't ever even allow myself the possibility that it would happen. The nomination itself was such a game changer for me because that was never in my thought pattern. It was never in my mind that that would happen for me.” - Jamie Lee Curtis
