I dislike kids. They’re mewling little things with fully intact egos, and that means they still believe the world revolves  around them. Right, I don’t hate them. Just this mild dislike—me being a girl at this point in my life when my maternal instinct supposedly awakes, I guess it’s weird.

You know when you’re young and you want to be everything? I wanted to be an astronaut, a broadcaster, a writer, a corporate lawyer. You’d notice these professions have very minimal, if any, to do with kids. I don’t think that’ll change any decade now.
