Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.

I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.

I make such a good statistic, somebody should study me now; somebody's gotta be interested in how I feel, just cause I'm here, and I'm real.

Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules.

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

The fundamental imbalance that is behind all of the other social diseases is patriarchy.

My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, "patriarchy," on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.
