Quotes

“My mom worked in a factory that manufactured airplane parts and cleaned medical buildings at night, all while completing a program offered by the Jewish Federation to become a registered nurse at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. And my dad, he worked as a donut deliveryman.”

“[In 2020], I was in labor for so long I genuinely forgot I was in the hospital to have a baby. The pain had taken over, and I thought my life was just going to be about managing it.”

“My life as I know it, and motherhood as I know it, was shaped by my right to make choices about my own body. In that way, my birth story is inseparable from my abortion story.”

“Ten years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. I was living in an apartment I could barely afford with my first boyfriend out of college. We were doing whatever it took to get by.”

“Becoming a mother has made me even more adamant about access to safe, legal abortions. I now know how hard it is to carry a bowling ball-sized human to full term. I know the back-breaking will it takes to give birth to a baby. I know the toll of sleepless nights and a torn body, the necessity of support, the pause it puts on your career, relationships, and goals. I cannot fathom the cruelty of enduring all this plus a lifetime of childrearing if you do not want it.”

“My grandmother was a nanny for an Orthodox Jewish family, and she would come home and tell us about that.”

“Nobody is powerless.”

“I remember what it was like when my parents couldn’t help me with my homework because they couldn’t speak the language, or being a translator for my parents. I did that a lot.”

“Being an immigrant myself, but feeling very American, and also being the child of immigrants, I understand the feeling of wanting a home.”

“There are moments in your life where you realize you could do nothing, but if you do, you’ll probably regret it forever.”

“I do know what it’s like to be an outsider.”

“I was three years old, so I actually don’t remember much of the refugee process.”

“We had a lot of help when we got to America.”

“I think a lot of Americans forget that they are not originally from here, that somebody in their past was a refugee.”

“We’re so lucky to take being alive for granted.”

“I want to be able to enjoy my life to the fullest so I can add something to the lives of people around me.”

“The goal of Can’t Do Nothing is to ask people, what matters for you? And whatever it is, what are you doing about it? How bad does it need to get before you take action?”

“Commercial directing felt like a very natural transition from my comedy, sketch, music video directing experience.”

“Every opportunity I’ve had to work and act with incredibly talented directors, like Dean Holland was on ‘Love,’ and the writers and creators of that show, Judd Apatow, Paul Rust and Leslie Arfin, have been incredible learning experiences that have informed my creative process.”

Milana Vayntrub is a strong woman capable of making her name known for her talents and hard work. It is not an easy feat, but as an entertainer, she managed to shine on her own.
