When you really look back and take the wider perspective, it makes total sense that if the status quo is to remain the way it is, women will not be lauded and applauded for bonding with and helping each other, because it would destroy the world order if women organized; it would topple the whole thing. And so, it makes perfect sense to me that the current order of things would encourage the cat fights and encourage the comparisons and encourage the girl-on-girl hate that you see just being promoted everywhere.

There are so many people, so many artists, so many magazines, so many theater companies, so many people trying to raise money for so many things that it's easy to look around and just feel powerless or helpless, because even if you have some resources, you can't help everybody.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.

Our nature is to desperately want to believe and to take what we believe is the quickest path there even against our better judgment.

The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist

Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
