I think the whole experience of being a human being on the planet is such a mystery, to be honest. Trying to figure out one's purpose and [asking] "What is it all about?"

Why are we not valuing the word 'feminism' when there is so much work to be done in terms of empowerment and emancipation of women everywhere?

I've had my share of dark days of the soul. I try not to focus on it too much so it doesn't get to me.

Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.
