I've dated bad girls in my time.
How about a cheer for all those bad girls! And all those boys that play that rock 'n' roll! They love it like you love Jesus.
we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud
As a bookish child in Calcutta, I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive.
'Al Jamilat' is not just feminist. It's an album with songs that feature women: women who are in love, rebellious women, political activists, women who are more submissive, women who are in charge.
I am in love with girls that are bad and naughty and badass, and a little selfish, but I like to watch from a respectful distance!
I wanted each woman to be a rebellious Vashti, not an Esther.
I like movies about women behaving badly, because women behave badly just like men, and we're not always adorable and cute about it.
