Toni Collette has declared \u2018people don\u2019t f*** with me\u2018<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old \u2018Muriel\u2019s Wedding\u2019 actress \u2013 who announced in December she was breaking up from her partner of 20 years Dave Galafassi \u2013 said she has learned to \u201ctake care of myself pretty well\u201d and has suffered \u201crage\u201d, especially over how women have been treated in society.<\/p>\n
She told Glamour magazine when asked if she had ever been faced with sexism in the workplace: \u201cI think people don\u2019t f*** with me. I mean, look, I have. Everyone\u2019s had an experience here or there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut ultimately, I think I take care of myself pretty well, and people just wouldn\u2019t go there. I feel lucky in that way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was recently watching \u2018The United States of Tara\u2019 (the 2009 comedy series that sees Toni plays a suburban mother who switches between multiple identities, including a loud, sweary man called Buck) with my 11-year-old son, and he couldn\u2019t believe that I was playing a guy.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd he kept repeating, \u2018My name is Buck and I will f*** you sideways!\u2019 And I was like, \u2018That\u2019s a part that lives in me!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMum-of-two Toni, who had daughter Sage, 15, and son Arlo, 11, with musician Dave, 44, added she had experienced huge anger in her life.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cOh my god, I\u2019ve had rage. We\u2019re born into a patriarchal society, we all adhere to the rules and don\u2019t even think about them, because why would you?<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou just accept things until you start to wake up and question things. But your emotions are like signposts and if you suppress them, you\u2019re only going to make yourself sick.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou can\u2019t deny your emotions, they\u2019re talking to you. I think your body is somehow smarter than your mind. And sadly, there is much to rage against.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nToni didn\u2019t mention her marriage split to Glamour, and has only appeared to hint at it on social media, by posting on Instagram in January a poem about being \u201cindestructible\u201d and believing in \u201cyour soul\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nShe is said to have been left devastated by her marriage collapse, with the former couple saying in a joint statement last year: \u201cIt is with grace and gratitude that we announce we are divorcing.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re united in our decision and part with continuing respect and care for each other.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur kids are of paramount importance to us and we will continue to thrive as a family, albeit a different shape. We\u2019re thankful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move through this transition peacefully. Big thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
