It is wonderful to hear of the relief efforts that are finally coming to New Orleans and the rest of the region, but as well all know, it is simply not going to be enough.

I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that.

Barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. I didn't always feel that way, but I feel that way now. When somebody loves you, and when you make somebody else happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world.

The money it would cost to buy another car could be [used to] build two schools. So it's an easy choice that makes me very happy.

When I was growing up I never babysat. I was considered to 'punk rock' to be trusted with kids.

It's very important that people understand that for refugees to come into the USA is very difficult. What upsets me about the whole situation is that people don't know the difference between a migrant and a refugee; they don't have respect for what people are coming from - the people who against it - and they have completely forgotten this is what built our country, the diversity. When it is put forward that masses of people are dangerous, and the actual numbers and the situation are proven to be completely the opposite of the way they're presented publicly, it's horrible.

Becoming a parent has just completely changed me, and made life so beautiful and given me such a center and a focus and such joy.
