“It's about the girlfriend who left me last year. I tried to put all my anger in those words, even though I'm just as much to blame for the break-up. 'Soma' is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security. Very deceivable.” GivingYearsIdeasLastsLeftSleepBreakSecurityIllusionBlameGirlfriendLast YearLove RelationshipOpiumSoma Author:Billy Corgan
“I try not to blame the public, because the public - men, especially - have seen not great portrayals of women in supporting roles, because they're not given the lead roles a lot of the time. Especially in comedy, they're relegated to the adversary, which is like "the mean girlfriend."” MenTryingMeanGivenRolesComedyBlameGirlfriendAdversariesPortrayalSupporting Roles Author:Paul Feig
“Internationally and in foreign markets, movies starring women don't make as much money as movies starring men. And then you can blame filmmakers, especially in comedy, which is my bread and butter, because it's become a bit of a boys' club over the years. With the boys in charge you get these takes on women which are either the girlfriend or the mean wife or the girl who appears in a romantic comedy. You're just getting either men's fantasies about women or what they think is the reality about women instead of men just having a healthy attitude about women.” ThinkingMenMeanRealityGirlAttitudeBoysFantasyComedyWifeHealthyBlameFilmmakerGirlfriendMovie Star Author:Paul Feig

“Shh!" the guy beside me hissed again. "Blame him," I told the guy, pointing at Patch. The guy craned his neck back. "Listen," he said, facing me again. "If you don't quiet down, I'll get security." "Fine, go get security. Tell them to take him away," I said, again signaling Patch. "Tell them he wants to kill me." "I want to kill you," hissed the guy's girlfriend.” IfsWantSaidGuySecurityFineQuietBlameGirlfriendNecksPointingKill MePatchesShh Author:Becca Fitzpatrick
“It's true, I did say I wanted girlfriends," I capitulated hesitantly, "but couldn't we start with something smaller and less terrifying? Like maybe spend a weekend at a crack house? I heard those people are very nonjudgmental, and if you accidentally say something offensive you can just blame it on their hallucinations.” PeopleIfsWantedHouseHeardBlameGirlfriendCracksWeekendOffensiveHallucinations Book:Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir) Source: Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir)
“When one is undone—sprawled across the cold tile of a public bathroom in a pool of one’s own vomit, or shivering in the back of a taxi in a pair of urine-soaked skinny jeans with no money for cab fare and a dead cell phone battery—much like a wobbly toddler or an unhinged politician, one immediately looks for someone else to blame. God. Your parents. Ex-girlfriends. Undocumented immigrants. Marvin in Human Resources.
