Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.

At times, I've been so absolutely terrified of what I was about to do, whether it was public speaking or performance. Whatever it was, sometimes it had me really, really shaking in my shoes, and I decided that I was going to do it no matter what. And, of course, the critic is there, and afterwards, there's this, "Was it good enough? Was it really all I wanted to say?"

As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.

I think people in Great Britain are a bit jaded sometimes.

The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.

I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?
