The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.

As any mom knows, having a baby is an extremely creative act and to love and create a baby, it's on par with any other creative act that we could come up with.

I'm pretty much a workaholic, but when you're doing what you love it's hard to think of a reason to stop.

It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.

There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism. People look at me sideways now and are like, "With everything going on, the destruction of the environment, these endless wars, this capitalism that has a stranglehold on our culture and our world and you're talking about feminism still?"

So many of us, myself included, need to keep our sense of personal outrage in check. Each human beings position on the planet is one of intense humility.

Having more exposure is kind of a bittersweet thing for me, honestly, because it's nice to have a little more job security in life now.
