Danger lurks when people are dissociated and detached from their own story or feelings.

Writing and giving voice to what I am feeling makes me happy. And supporting people in finding their voice, passion, outrage and resistance. There is nothing better than that.

I think the world is always improving and always not improving. I think that both are simultaneously happening all the time. I don't think it's one motion unfortunately - I wish we could say it's better, better, better - but I think it's better, bad, better, bad - you know?

Success itself doesn't give you happiness. It's what you do with your success that gives you happiness.

The only point of having power it seems to me is to empower others. The only point of leadership is to inspire.
