Words are hotter than flames. Words are wetter than water.

I always try and stay one step ahead of people, not looking like I looked like last week, so I can be as anonymous as possible and part of it is just for me. It is fun to just come up with new and bizarre colors for each area of your body and things like that, but there are some parts of it that I just keep wanting to negate myself. I hate waking up in the morning and recognizing the woman in the bathroom mirror.

I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant; it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.

I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.

Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.

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

First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.
