Totally a first world problem, but I hate that as an actress and engineer, I have to edit how I'm pictured publicly so I can have a body and a brain at the same time. It's tough for people to imagine respecting me with both.

Also the Madonna / Whore complex in Florence's case can't be ignored. It really makes clear how many want to see her because they view her as young and it feeds that fantasy. Can't she just be an awesome actress and personality?
