One of the things that struck me when I came to the U.S. was discovering American poverty.

There are many different ways to be poor in the world but increasingly there seems to be one single way to be rich.

This is our world, although the people who drew this map decided to put their own land on top of ours. There is no top or bottom, you see.

There are some things that are so unforgivable that they make other things easily forgivable.

When I'm in a good mood I like to cook. But I don't like saying it in public because I find myself being resentful of the idea; "Now you will make a good wife. You can cook, right?" So when people ask me I go, "No, I don't like cooking!"

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls 'You can have ambition, but not too much'.

The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be, rather than recognising how we are.
