“Sometimes it’s the little, insigniﬁcant stuff that can tear you down.”

— Ellen Page

Coming Out Speech (2014)
Context: Sometimes it’s the little, insigniﬁcant stuff that can tear you down. I try not to read gossip as a rule, but the other day a website ran an article with a picture of me wearing sweatpants on the way to the gym. The writer asked, “Why does [this] petite beauty insist upon dressing like a massive man?” *pause* Because I like to be comfortable.
