"This has become my comfort movie recently. It’s my revenge fantasy against every man who said something horrible to me, who made me feel uncomfortable, took advantage of me, made me trust them, and betrayed that trust. Ugh, I love it."

"Dude, same. That movie reverse-funneled my self-image if that makes sense. Virgin Suicides hit some nails, but the screaming rebellion was really palpable in Girl, Interrupted, and I finally felt like I wasn’t the first young lady to violently lose her shit."

"The entire cast was phenomenal! Set It off was the film that first made me fall in love with Queen Latifah’s work. She has a genuine edginess to her that was front and center for that role. She brings it to everything she does in her career, but she has a balance of grace that has inspired me since childhood."

"When Clairee tells M’Lynn to hit Ouiser, I go from crying to laughing to crying all over again."

"Love this movie so much. One of my favorite parts is when her daughter is showing him into the mom's office, and she taps her dad and says, 'Oh, and daddy — I’m a lesbian. A big one.'"
