Call Her Daddy
"I feel like I'm almost like out of the game, but I do think that it's a comfort thing for me that I don't like meeting new people. I don't like having sex with new people. Like I get like, I'm a totally different rep me. Like I'm awkward at first. Like I have a panic attack before dates. Like I just, I'm like, I don't wanna do this." — Remy Bader
"I think the same thing as when I started all this how like my dream is to have a line that caters to everyone and there's no labels of plus size, extended size curvy. What's the best that a brand can call it? Whatever, like everyone's just in want you walk into a store and it's all sizes in one place. Like that's all I've ever wanted." — Remy Bader
"I'm a work in progress, but like I did this for me. And that day, which I can't say I would never say names or anyone like it's all confidential, but that day that I was crying and freaking out and talking about the horse ranch and not sure if these people would understand and saying everything, and there was a new girl there that day, and the whole time never would have thought she knew me, nothing, like it's just not that type of vibe, but at the end, because I was so upset, and I was like a massive bitch that day, I was just sitting there with my arms crossed, so upset, and she was like, I just have to say to you, like, I'm here because of you. Like I am in this program because of you, because I saw your video, and like I just need you to know how many people in the world you're helping, because I wouldn't be taking care of myself, if it wasn't for you, and then that snapped me back into like why the hell am I focusing on all these people that are telling me I'm the worst human in the world when I'm helping these people?" — Remy Bader
