Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

At times, you need to be forceful to get things that are stuck unstuck.

I couldn't describe how little interest I have in men. Or I could - but I don't think that it would be appropriate.

I just want people to know you can get through stuff. I hope people can see that in what my life has been and where it is going.

We all think people deserve second chances. None of us are perfect.

If you don't like me, life goes on, you know what I mean? But I hope you do like me. Because I think that in addition to being pushy, I'm nice.

When you stand up there and do a press conference, it's a very preoccupied moment. You're standing in front of cameras; people are watching you; it's not so easy to be at ease.
