Don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.

I like to be an inspiration and an example of the idea that you can be independent, and it's no problem, and you can pay your rent, and it's empowering, and it's great. And that's true, but it also takes a really long time, and you have to have a lot of patience and a lot of conviction in why you want to remain independent.

The minute my child was born, I was reborn as a feminist. It's so incredible what women can do... birthing naturally, as most women do around the globe, is a superhuman act. You leave behind the comforts of being human and plunge back into being an animal.

A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

Love was always the goal, and my point every step of the way was that nothing is wrong with love, no matter what flavor it comes in.

Emptiness has its solace in that there's nothing left to take.

For every hand extended another lies in wait. Keep your eye on that one girl...anticipate.
