I paint and I draw and I write and I do other things too, and recently some people at school were asking if I'd ever publish any of my work. But I almost feel like I would have to publish it under another name because there's a definition of me out there that feels kind of stuck in the moment when it was formed.

I already had the sense that I was someone who was more spiritual than specifically religious. ... I'm really interested in those things that are more far-reaching than culture, nationality, race, religion.

Women share this planet 50/50 and they are underrepresented, their potential astonishingly untapped.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone.

If I've learned anything, it's really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

As a younger woman, that pressure got me down, but I've made my peace with it. With airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can project an unobtainable image that's dangerously unhealthy. I'm excited about the ageing process. I'm more interested in women who aren't perfect. They're more compelling.

Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings.
