The real terrorist is the American government, state terrorism unleashed against the world.

I think that there is a lot going on with young people today.

I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don't feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily--obviously not completely--moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.

I don't come from a privileged background.

I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.

There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.

Today enormous effort goes into convincing the American public that we're just consumers of media manipulation and sound-bites and spin doctors. That we care only about ourselves, money, and stuff. That acting out of passion and conviction doesn't make a difference. But all history shows that it does.
