"Badass, to me, means doing what should be done in a situation because it's what's needed and maybe you're the person to do it, and if not, how do you get to the person who needs to do it? And not needing to be liked or think you need to be liked so much. I was likable, and [now] I don't really give a shit about that." — Melissa McCarthy, badass forever.
The quote comes from a profile of McCarthy by Laura Brown for InStyle. It's really good and you should read it!
