Criticism is hard for me but people find hard to believe because they think I'm very tough, very strident, that I tell everybody where to get off, and how. But I've actually got a really thin skin. I don't know. It's quite pathetic. So, yeah, it's hard for me to take criticism. But I also kind of have this sense of humor on overdrive, so I don't take any of it seriously. So that sort of saves me, the fact that I think it's just all kind of funny.

You're trying to fight gravity on a planet that insists that love is like falling, and falling is like this.

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.

All the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks a question.

TIME is not a thing that's ours to lose.

I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.

I love all those great 'f' words - feminism, folk music.
