Daily Inspiration Quote by Laura Prepon

"I am so like Donna it's funny. And most of my friends are guys too"

About this Quote

A little brag, a little defense mechanism: Prepon’s line works because it anticipates the eye-roll before it arrives. “I am so like Donna it’s funny” is classic actor-as-brand talk, but it’s also a signal flare to fans of That ’70s Show who want the comforting fiction that the person and the character line up. It’s a way of keeping the parasocial contract intact: you liked Donna because she was smart, grounded, and unbothered by dumb posturing; here’s Prepon implying that wasn’t just writing, it was her.

The second sentence is where the cultural math happens. “Most of my friends are guys” is an old, loaded phrase, especially for women in entertainment. On the surface it’s casual: she feels more at ease with male friendship, maybe because of interests, humor, or the set culture she came up in. Underneath, it nudges a familiar archetype: the “cool girl” who isn’t “dramatic,” who fits easily into male spaces. It can read as a subtle bid for legitimacy in an industry that punishes female ambition and labels female social circles as petty.

Context matters: early-2000s celebrity interviewing rewarded this kind of self-description. It positioned an actress as approachable, low-maintenance, “one of the guys,” while still tethering her to a beloved character. The intent isn’t radical; it’s strategic warmth, using identity overlap and gender-coded friendship as shorthand for relatability and credibility.
