Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don't even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges.

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.

The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.

I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.

I will go out of my way to avoid the shopping crowds and the extreme consumerism - I hate all that.

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.
