I love the way they actively listen when the other person is speaking. It shows mutual respect & the willingness to learn from each other. Didn't expect any less from these great women!

Such smart compassionate genius queens. Mindy calling Emma out on her “office” romances was hilarious 😂

"Love, romantic love, is generally a projection of the impossible on the other person".
I don't think I was ready for that ...

I cannot believe I found this on the internet. Inspiring! Can we please have more women who take their intelligence, talent and integrity seriously in the Entertainment Industry!!!!

I turned 21 yesterday and this was actually one of the most valuable birthday presents I received, I kind of needed to hear some of these things. Thank you Mindy and Emma for the wise words 💗

[cisbetterthanyou]

This was great! I love when celebrities actually answer the questions genuinely .. and not just gloss over them and make a joke of it.

[leilathecuttlefish]

I feel like this shouldn’t be just advice to women but advice to everybody. Their words are brilliant.

I heard that story about the prawns in the curtain rod. Supposedly it was done by a woman divorcing a guy who took up with a "newer model". He kept the house in the settlement. When they couldn't get rid of the smell, they put the house up for sale and the ex-wife bought it back for much less than it was worth. Not endorsing this action at all. It might be an urban legend.

Has Emma ever written a book? Her advice is incredible and I now want her with me in every situation so she can help me through it. what a wonder!
