"I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn't sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever"
About this Quote
The subtext is a quiet rebuttal to the old script where men and women can't be close without sexual tension. Vaughn frames friendship with women as normal, even boring, and that is the point. By stating explicitly that he had female friends he "wasn't sexual with", he marks himself as emotionally competent while also anticipating skepticism. In Hollywood, where gossip culture turns every interaction into a headline, he draws a boundary: intimacy isn't automatically romance, and comfort isn't automatically conquest.
The "two older sisters" detail does double duty. It's a relatable explanation that avoids sounding like self-help, and it positions him as someone socialized early into listening, negotiating, and being teased into humility. Then comes the kicker: "I can just go up and say whatever". It's disarming, but also a flex - not about dominance, but about permission. The intent isn't to brag about women; it's to brand himself as unthreatened by them, and by extension, unthreatened in general.
