Kerry Washington said this quote

“ A few weeks ago, my manager asked: Do you feel like you're back? I feel like you're back. She meant it as a total compliment, but we had this great conversation where I was like, You know what? I try really hard not to use that language, because it's not about going backward in life. I think it comes from this culture of antiaging, which is so not loving ourselves.
