I’ve tried open-ended jobs and found myself incredibly unhappy. I don’t like the monomania of showing up every day and doing the same thing. I don’t know where my next cheque is coming from, I don’t know where my next job is coming from, I have really sketchy health insurance, but I need variety in my life. Julie Klausner Read Quote
So, things aren’t clicking with this sweet guy who keeps calling you. So what? Things like chemistry and fate and all the rest actually exist. You don’t need to flip out if you’re seeing a guy who’s really nice to you and you’re not attracted to him. It doesn’t have to necessarily be because he’s nice to you and you hate yourself.

This is not what anyone wants to hear, just like somebody who wants to lose weight doesn’t want to hear ‘diet and exercise,’ but I think giving yourself time and abstaining from interaction is the only way to get over somebody. Julie Klausner Read Quote
You have to tell guys to ask you on a date. Smile when you do it – however that works, I’m not ‘Cosmo.’ But yeah – not a lot of people know how to ‘court’ anymore, sorry. Julie Klausner Read Quote
Every once in awhile you get encouragement, or you get something that isn’t competitive or guilt-inducing from your peers, and it just turns a little light on. It makes it so the work that you do isn’t isolating and horrible. There are people who make your life and your work better, and that’s something I’m incredibly grateful for. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I have nothing snarky to say about Joan Rivers’ appearance. We should all be that happy with how we look on camera, frankly. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I think of basset hounds whenever I turn on my computer because I have photos of them. And if I’m lucky, and I see one on the street, I know it’s going to be a good day. They really are like a four-leaf clover. Julie Klausner Read Quote
Oh, yeah, I did the online dating thing. I did Nerve, I did Match. On Nerve there was this one guy who, when I asked him what he did for a living, said he ‘used to be in a band.’ I was like, ‘That is not an occupation.’ Julie Klausner Read Quote
I think feeling responsible for stuff that goes wrong is an inherent part of being female. Julie Klausner Read Quote
The modern model of misogyny has to do with marginalizing people who are sexual and thinking of them as dumb, or not serious, or not cool or tweedy enough to take seriously, for fear of seeming like one of the guys from ‘Jersey Shore.’ The sex is so much more present in sexism than, I think, ever before.
