We can't walk where we want to walk or be who we want to be or dress the way we want to dress or go anywhere any time of day. I am talking about the freedom that comes with just knowing that you're okay, and that you have value and you have identity, and you don't have to keep proving yourself.

Dance is holy, sexual, and it's a way of being very powerful and a little dangerous without being violent.

One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.

The mechanism of violence is what destroys women, controls women, diminishes women and keeps women in their so-called place.

Why don't we bring everyone up to be caring and compassionate, to believe that we are connected with everyone and everything around us?

What I would say to young women is: Pay attention to the real. Pay attention to what you're really thirsting for. What do you really want? And I think that's much harder to decipher in a culture that has no interest in it. What interests me is, are we going to wake in time? Are human beings going to wake up to ourselves, to the incredible poverty that's on this planet, to what we're doing to the earth, to what we're doing to women, to what we're doing to boys? That's what's important.
