literally I can't get enough of her

[@Robyn-r9s]

7:44 "The precis of that book [50 Shades of Gray] is basically a girl who has no interest in S&M sex whatsoever is discovered by a much older man and in exchange for being repeatedly beaten on the clitoris with a hairbrush, he gives her an iPad and lets her go in his helicopter. That's not what sex is. We're mammals. It's a gleeful, joyful, amazing thing. It needs to stop being this cross between a weird shopping catalogue and an aerobics workout video. That's the sex I see in the 21st century."

[@bethsol4969]

her personality is literally everything! i love her but i have yet to read the book so im not gonna be watching anymore to avoid spoilers!

[@courtneyblairs]

She is so amazing. I've never laughed so hard reading a book than when I read her description of giving birth in How to Be a Woman

[@2011rosiegirl]

That interviewer has such a gorgeous soft voice

[@gledhillgledhill]

buyer beware - it got him into trouble - terribly

[@ruthieengleman7696]

i cant wait for the next two books

[@RosePetal17]

Just Cool!

[@Alicelunaoneill]

"I'm trying to calm you down" ... way to begin. Note: Never tell a woman to calm down. Love you Caitlin!

[@Dirty_Hamble]

But he didn't tell her to calm down. Try listening.

[@911monroe]

Fucking love this woman. What a L E G E N D

[@Zainab-ox2pq]

Epic Day Amen

[@Burps___]

When I'm famous (and I will be), I'm granting one interview, and it's to you, Jian. Okay, maybe Charlie Rose, too. On second thought, no, he interrupts too much. Just you!

[@519DJW]

This is how shallow I am: When I saw the title of the video, "How to Build a Girl," I thought it might be something along the lines of the movie "Lars and the Real Girl"! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

[@MarianelaLuna]

Can anybody tell me how not to fall in love with her?

[@karenday9109]

She is amazing but I do wish she would slow her speech just a bit!

[@corinn123]

What would Jian know about empowered consensual sex anyhow?

[@Jackspiring]

5:00 Mistaking value for the price

[@MirrorRival]

*falls in love, breaks a few ribs*

[@truthmatters5209]

Couldn't think of anyone i'd be less likely to recommend that my teenage daughter takes advice from. Most of the problems faced by teenage girls are caused by the spitefulness of other teenage girls and the anxiety inducing effect of feminist ideology that teaches them to fear men as their oppressors.

[@bethanygordon2777]

Catalin Moran lol

[@ecaepevolhturt]

That is one pale, passive aggressive, pushy, low class, unoriginal, insensitive, over simplistic, loud mouth, arrogant, greedy, superficial woman. I'd rather read Sylvia Plath or Simone de Beauvoir.

[@ecaepevolhturt]

If I had said, that I had wanted to see those two excellent and historic writers that I mentioned, and your response was to tell me, that you were sorry to have to tell me that they had both passed away, if I were to interpret your response literally, I would then wonder why you were sorry, and if I interpreted your response figuratively, as I'm sure that you intended seeing as you use figures-of-speech (break it to you, wide spread, etc), then your statement seems petty and condescending.

[@BigFatCock0]

Jian said that he's also still coming to terms with not marrying David Bowie. That's a lot funnier if you've read his memoir or at least read the wikipedia page for it.
