The joy with which we denigrate each others' efforts, I hate that.

I am tired of fighting state by state, county by county, city by city, for fractions of equality. I am tired of compromises and I am tired of the strategy that divides us from each other. It is time for us to unite across state boundaries in a truly nationwide movement to win full, actual equality, which can only come from the federal government. That's not my opinion. That's a fact.

Any social movement that seeks to benefit only its own members I think is a shallow movement and probably doomed to failure.

Dealing with Hollywood and commercial entertainment, you always have to worry that the political message is going to be skewed or obscured.

Most of the young people I know are working so hard, 60 or 70 hours a week. They have no time for recreation or love affairs; it's just work and struggle. I want them to endure, and find that strength and be able to continue.

If I had to say what my one greatest achievement is, it's that I lasted, and I'm still happy. I hope that comes through.

I believe we are entering into a period of political chaos. Out of that chaos is the potential for great evil, but there is also the possibility of great good.
