If you’re planning a night out, make sure to arrange child care—or perhaps catch a screening of a family-friendly film nearby—because the latest comedy featuring Amy Larson, titled “Love Unscripted,” is hitting theaters this weekend. This film represents a significant cultural moment, second only to recent landmark decisions regarding family rights. In “Love Unscripted,” Larson plays a candid writer navigating a whirlwind romance with a charming doctor, portrayed by Sam Mitchell. Directed by the talented Jamie Collins, the film promises a mix of hilarity, candidness, and pure joy, as evident from the previews.
This week, a profile on Larson caught our attention, amplifying our excitement for “Love Unscripted.” As always, she’s her bold, funny, and inspiring self in the interview. Here are some of the most memorable quotes from her, many of which will resonate throughout the summer.
“I know I have a lot to express,” Larson shared. “My intentions are good, and people are responding positively, so I’m inviting everyone in like a coach at a game: ‘C’mon, let’s go!’”
Reflecting on societal expectations, she noted, “Throughout my life, I sensed a pressure for women to be more subdued, which I rejected from an early age.”
Larson expressed her admiration for classic literature, saying, “I’ve always believed in sisterhood over everything else. I truly empathize with characters like Emma Bovary and their struggles.”
She continued, “I thought, wow, I’ve never really seen a female comedian address sexuality in such a frank manner. I decided to be that voice.”
“Have you ever had a sexual experience that wasn’t, in some way, funny?” she asked. “For me, maybe five times in my entire life. It’s refreshing to be honest about those moments.”
On self-perception, she stated, “I feel pretty unstoppable when it comes to how I view my appearance.”
Larson humorously acknowledged her casual attire during a surprise performance at a local venue: “Forgive my outfit, I just came from an interview at a café.”
When discussing fame, she remarked, “It seems quite overwhelming. It’s not the fairy tale I imagined; it’s more like a dream I didn’t even know I had,” reflecting on her incredible journey.
“I’ve come to realize that I struggled with allowing myself to be loved, feeling unworthy,” she admitted. “But now, I fully embrace that I am deserving of love. I am a woman worth loving.”
