We must help each other to be present and compassionate. Remember that we have no idea what the person next to us is going through; compassion is the only choice.

Clearly, I'm committed to women's issues and stories and promoting gender equality. I have two incredible role models in Jenji [Kohan] and Shonda [Rhimes].

The more I have deep love and compassion for my earth and my fellows, the more love and compassion I have for myself, and vice versa.

Water has always been something that I care deeply about, and I'm very aware of its limits on this planet. If we don't change our behavior around water, water will become as valuable as oil. That is a given. When people don't understand that, I'm surprised.

I'm a girl who always looks at toilets and thinks Wow, how do we waste that much water when there are people who don't even have water?

Sometimes we don't face what's going on in our world, be it a water crisis or an earth crisis, because it's a little too scary and painful. Just like we don't want to face the parts of ourselves that are a little too uncomfortable or painful. We've gotta face both and love both so that we can heal both.

I haven't ridden a bike in a while because I'm so scared I'll get hit and die.
