Ellen Page Quotes

I’m A Huge Fan Of The Program Democracy Now, Which Is Hosted By Amy Goodman, And I Subscribe To The Podcast.

I Love Travel Shows. I Love Anthony Bourdain. I Love No Reservations. I Always Learn So Much, And I Wanted To See One From A Gay Perspective That Explored Lgbt Communities Around The World.

I Hate How Box-office Failures Are Blamed On An Actress, Yet I Don't See A Box-office Failure Blamed On Men.

I'm Not Used To Being In Front Of A Camera As Myself. I'm Not Used To Watching Myself As Myself.

We Are Just Trying To Do The Best Possible Job We Can. We're Not Perfect. All You Can Do Is Trust The Positive Intention Behind It, And We're Always Going To Work To, Hopefully, Get Better And Better.

The Idea Behind It Did Come Out Of My Love For Travel Shows. I Loved Them As A Little Kid And I Loved Anthony Bourdain, But I Really Did Want To See One About Lgbtq Communities And Culture And The Specific Country That We Visit. Of Course It Is About The Joys And The Triumphs And The Nightlife, But Sadly, Unfortunately, It's Also About The Discrimination That People Face, Because That's The Reality.

I Think The Name Came [of The Show 'gaycation'] Out Of The Fact That A Lot Of People Just Don't Know - They Don't Know What So Many People Face Around The World Or Even In Their Own Country, Where There's A Variety Of Experience, And Despite The Incredible Progress We've Seen, That Progress Hasn't Necessarily Reached Everyone. I Wanted To Kind Of Have This Title To Have You Be Open To The Experience, And Then You Enter It And You Do See The Realities.

If You Are A Lgbtq Person, If You're Going To Travel Somewhere, You Do Need To Be Mindful Of Where You're Going, Particularly Depending On The Country. That's Just Something Unfortunately You Need To Think About. It's Something You Need To Think About If You're A Woman, It's Something To Think About Particularly If You're A Trans Woman, And The Problems A Lot Of Trans People Face When They're Travelling.

I Wish Transphobia, Biphobia, Homophobia Didn't Exist, And I Wish That's What The Show Could Just Be, But Sadly That's Not The Situation Around The World.

I Guess I Notice Things As A Woman Just In The Way I'm Spoken To.

And I Think It's Really Easy For People To Point Out Hypocrisy In People's Lives.

I Feel So Lucky To Have The Opportunity To Make The Show, And That It Is In Alignment With What I'm Interested In, With What I Read About. For Me, It Just Felt Like An Organic Step - Of Course, I'm Thinking I Want A Show That Allows For More Representation For The Community And Shows The Struggles People Face, Especially When We're Hearing All This Political Rhetoric - To Have A Way To Show How Much This Affects People Lives.
