Somebody’s totally a model now!
Amy Schumer may only have “three faces” that she can make, but we think she nailed her Glamour August cover shot.
And as much as that wind machine was annoying her (you can watch the BTS shoot in the video below), it succeeded in making that strand of hair in her face look pretty sexy.
Okay, so it does look like she’s munching on her own hair, but still, it’s hot!
The envelope-pushing comedian also talked at length about her celebrity and her role in the entertainment world.
Read on for HIGHlights!
On being a feminist: “I don’t try to be feminist. I just am. It’s innately inside me. I have no interest in trying to be the perfect feminist, but I do believe feminists are in good hands with me.”
On why she calls out sexism in her work: “Every woman deals with it most every day of their lives. Growing up, it’s just in your day-to-day. There are all these preconceived notions of what it means to be a woman or a girl, and straying from those ideas of femininity is sort of shocking to people. I felt angered by that as a kid. I felt like that was unjust. Like that was not right.”
On still facing sexism despite her success: “I was headlining at a comedy club, and you saw one of the security guards, who had always been so nice to me, saying, ‘Amy’s so successful now. I wonder how she got that?’ and then pretending to give a blow job… I’ve never slept with anyone who could help me at all. No one. I wish I had. If anything, everyone I’ve had sex with has been a real step in the wrong direction.”
On setting boundaries: “I think anybody who’s smart and who knows me can see that that’s an act and this is not. I’m very clear with my boundaries. I had a comedian one time pull me onto his lap, and I said, ‘Never do that to me again. You and I are not gonna play like that.’ I hope I do influence other women to set better boundaries for themselves.”
On her comment that she can get sex even when she’s overweight: “If a guy was like, ‘I can get pussy whenever I want,’ that guy would be a dickhead. But to deny that there’s a major difference is ridiculous. For women, we’re taught to eat less until we disappear. And trained to believe that if you don’t look like everyone else, then you’re unlovable. And men are not trained that way. Men can look like whatever and still date a supermodel. I’m proud of what I said. I think it’s good to see somebody saying: I have a belly. And I have cellulite. And I still deserve love. And to catch the old D. And to not apologize.”
On fashion: “Not everyone’s wired to understand how to dress. I don’t have that chip. I’ve sometimes not even wanted to leave the house because I can’t find an outfit. I feel best when someone who knows what they’re doing and knows me has dressed me. So ask a friend!”
On her ultimate goals: “I want to make women laugh. I want to make them feel beautiful in their own skin. I want to empower them to use their voice and not apologize. And I want a jet.”
