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.

I'm an aggressive woman who gets things done, and that's the way it is, and I've never been embarrassed about the fact that I am pushy.

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

I hope there is nothing about me that people have a big problem with. You know, I like to think of myself as lovable.

Consensus doesn't happen by magic... You have to drive to it.

At the end of the day, somebody someday is going to say something about you. At least you can look back and say you lived the way you wanted to.

Don't keep your own schedule - that will eat too much of your time keeping your own schedule. And when you are tired, stop. Because if you are too tired, you become not productive, and you are wasting time.
