[@liquididentity101]

I have loved listening to and watching this woman for 20 years. She still entrances me.

[@ColinYapp]

I am so fascinated with her, she really is an inspiration in terms of how down to earth she is as an individual.

[@74artgrrl]

See, the problem is too many people commenting on her physical look than what she has to actually SAY. This is the problem with a misogynistic world.

[@thehellyousay]

Misogyny? No, just ignorance.

[@mikearchibald744]

I know lots of women who will talk a LOT about looks of actors or even actresses. So those women are being misogynistic? Or shallow? PS she so hot! So was edith bunker!

[@barnabybot]

And in one sentance you make a sweeping statement which makes you as bad as the world you see fault with.

[@markcoycoyescueta6922]

I love you Janeane..your HONESTY is admirable!

[@mmdaigle]

This beautiful woman and her honesty has saved my life over and over again since Senior year 1996.

[@thehellyousay]

So, your life needs constant saving, and only Jeanine Garofalo was able to do so? You stalk her, don't you?

[@amazoniaselvagem5695]

When I can't sleep I'll listen to Janeane and everything feels ok.

[@QueerSwede1]

she is my all time favorite, i get nostalgic now

[@netizen6698]

She admits she talks to herself, which is something I do when I'm stressed out. I have so much sympathy and respect for her.

[@itzpapalotl13]

I've always thought that Janeane was one of the best things in Reality Bites. Her character rang true to me, after all who doesn't know a young woman who doesn't have the most flattering haircut, has ample flesh and sleeps around to give herself a self-esteem boost? The whole Hollywood obsession with thinness is ludicrous!! There are/were many young women of Janeane's size out there and they are sexually active! Despite what she may say, I think she got the character right!

[@mikearchibald744]

My complaint is that those women never wore tshirts-"need a self esteem boost". Sleeping around but you could never tell which ones needed 'the boost'! Hollywood is the western arm of madison avenue, both of which are designed to make people unhappy with themselves. How hilarious was the movie 'truth about cats and dogs' as they tried to pass off uma thurman as the hot one!

[@Zannathin]

She’s a legend! Always will be. So funny & honest. Always authentic. I adore her. Wish we saw more of her lately.

[@ytubeanon]

people may not understand this, but she's a barometer of how much better the 90's were in which she thrived, compared to the post-2000's, with 9/11, George Bush, the worst politics, Trump, etc.., she did change her story about her hair in Reality Bites... I happened to recently see a video of her from the 90's, I think, where she said the director forced her to cut her hair that way, she said she knew it would look bad and protested, but they absolutely insisted and that's why she had to do it

[@JustJoeT]

At 7pm this evening, I'm on track to see her live in Asheville, wNC !!

[@jn2050]

When Bush and Cheney were lieing to the world about Iraq, she wasoone of few that said the war was wrong.

[@michaeldineen8324]

She's lovely. She still looks great.

[@salamisumo2]

Lavern You’re 37 now, old, and use a faceless profile.

[@Staylogical]

She's totally sweet.And she aggravates the right. Bonus.

[@timbrady6473]

oleole52 I think you have that reversed , the right absolutely drives her to her therapists couch and occasionally to extended stays at rejuvenation spas . Sad , eternally unhappy .

[@timbrady6473]

Student of Life So your cool with our homophobic ,sexist , authoritarian , forced birthing ? We should hang out !

[@Luvie1980]

Janeane is awesome!

[@mjji21]

so smart...so hip...

[@LazarusLongification]

Me too. Ever since I was 10 she has been my only celebrity crush. I wish I could cast her in everything!

[@Chazzle]

Legend

[@jayallen81]

Janeane, we love you. You're hilarious and honest and amazing.

[@stoniewake125]

I love her

[@sergiohenriqueribasdeolive5345]

I love Jeneane Garofalo

[@kentyahfraser]

I love Janeane Garofalo! Whats up with the interviewer's crazy lean in? Dude has some weird boundaries

[@rainmaker690]

For real---I've always liked her and her dark, straight-forward sardonic blunt sense of humor---seemed like she disappeared for awhile from movies especially--nice to see she's still her same old self-depreciating sardonic self---now I'll have to check out Late For Dinner! Shw was also in another good little-known indie flick called Clay Pigeons, where she's really as an FBI agent trying to solve a murder.

[@Trendle222]

looks really good, she is 49-50 yrs old and looks a cute 35ish to me

[@thegarofaholic3082]

Of course.

[@thegarofaholic3082]

@ted dymski Yes she is.

[@WINZ0W]

She's 20 years older than me and I still would.

[@TheRedGameboy]

I love her so much. I want her in major movies. She wasn't old when it comes to acting. Jordan Peele should have her in a major role. Or some other producer; not some throwaway thing like a therapist in two scenes of a romcom. AND SHE HAS RANGE. I'd die to see her being a perky, spunky, love interest or protag. Stop tossin the good jobs to just Sandra Bullock.

[@quesondriac]

Sorry Stephen, but Canada loves her! Well, most of Canada!

[@ninjachannel007]

I love how she still refuses to hug anyone.

[@thegarofaholic3082]

She's so shy.

[@blindmelonlemonjello]

That's not why she has scoliosis. And it hurts her back.

[@otisroseboro5613]

The best day of my life is when I met this beautiful gorgeous woman & also my late Dad was flirting with her,the whole time I spoke to her

[@almondtofuxbluefield]

24!

[@scottjulie27]

Watch the movie "Sweethearts". The best fucking movie she ever did in her whole career!!!!!

[@jorgesblog8017]

+scottjulie27 I agree, that movie is awesome.

[@scottjulie27]

Jorge's Blog :)) That movie is so underrated. If I ever had the chance to talk to Janeane Garofalo (even Margaret Cho), I would ask her about that movie. No one mentions it at all in any interviews.

[@jorgesblog8017]

You can try with Mitch Rouse on twitter, but Janeane is unreachable online, maybe Margaret, he uses twitter a lot. But yeah, I don't know why she never mention the film. Mitch Rouse tweet sometimes about the film. This is a backstage pic twitter.com/margaretcho/status/576164874595663872

[@scottjulie27]

Jorge's Blog WOW!!! Awesome!! Thanks for providing that. :)))

[@sweiland75]

She can be more laid back here in Canada, because we are a liberal country.

[@antoniobiancofiore2396]

She’s beautiful and funny

[@StephenAndrew777]

You don't have the option to speak for entire nation, thank God.

Awkward ending.

[@DrPlatypus1]

I wouldn't presume to involve DrPlatypus2 in such trivial matters.

[@timbrady6473]

Janeanne is well known for her involuntary expelling of noxious gases , she’s admitted to it , one of the reasons she’s so awkward , and the reason for the quick departure .

[@blindmelonlemonjello]

[@Marinaaduran]

She hated watching herself on screen

[@checkurbrainfly]

you wanna be accepted on your terms,wtf George!? don't jump to conclusions ,it's not like you can read your subjects mind,plus you make it sound like she's to egotistical

[@Yowzoe]

she explained herself well

[@athena7042]

She was supposed to have quit drinking, but she isn't sober. Hard to watch.

[@petergeissen6440]

she should gain 20 pounds…quickly:)
