"So the point is, I don't have a right to tell anybody what's right or wrong about their lives. Who am I to tell you at any given moment of the day what would be right for you?"
About this Quote
The intent reads as ethical modesty, but the subtext is sharper: she’s calling out our appetite for outsourced judgment. When audiences ask public figures to pronounce on how to live, they’re not just seeking advice; they’re seeking absolution, permission, a shortcut through ambiguity. Quivers refuses to be that shortcut. The phrase "at any given moment of the day" matters because it rejects the fantasy that a life can be solved with a single, stable rule. People change. Context changes. What’s "right" isn’t a product you can mass-produce from a radio studio.
As a celebrity - and as someone long associated with confessional, boundary-pushing broadcast culture - Quivers knows how easily honesty becomes performance. This quote pushes back against the assumption that visibility equals authority. It’s not anti-morality; it’s pro-agency. The cultural move here is less "don’t judge" than "stop hiring strangers to do your self-understanding for you."
