Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.

Activism is my rent for living on the planet.

I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.

My life is not to be somebody else's impact - you know what I mean?

All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. Girl, child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.

What you hope for, you also fear.
