"'How are you so confident?' I'm an asshole! Okay? It's my good time, and my good life, despite what you think of me. I live my life, because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame. I show up because I'm an asshole, and I want to have a good time."—Gabourey Sidibe, in a speech, transcribed here, that she delivered last Thursday at the Ms Foundation Women of Vision Gala.
