When we really see each other, we want to help each other.

I had a real come-to-Jesus a couple of years ago when I started to see the direct line between feminism and everything else - feminism and climate change, feminism and poverty, feminism and hunger - and it was almost like I was born again and started walking down the street and was like, "Oh, my God, there are women everywhere! They're just everywhere you look. There's women all over the place!"

I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.

I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls; I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.

I don't feel at home in New Orleans. I don't feel at home in Austin or L.A. And I just felt immediately at home in northern Australia.

The pattern's laid out on the bed With dozens of colors of thread But you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end
