We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.

You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful.

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.

You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.

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?
