I don't think I'm a muse, although I think I can help pull a trigger. I really like getting my hands dirty. Amanda Harlech
Me People Think Trigger Inspiration Dirty Stereotype Come Like Come And Go Make Although Go Were Privileged Get Hands Getting Really Decorative Help Actually Things Muse Muses Pull

We live in a culture that does not encourage women to be epic heroes of their own Big Stories but the mothers and lovers and wives and mistresses and muses and personal assistants, the femme fatales and fantasies and manic pixie dream girls, in someone else's Big Story, and this someone else is usually a dude. Justine Musk
