Self-esteem isn't everything; it's just that there's nothing without it.

I guess 35 years ago, I thought we had more of a democracy than we actually do. Majority support doesn't help unless the majority is active and votes - but the opposition minority votes a much greater proportion, so we often lose by a narrow margin.

Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.

I've only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn't have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That's so rare.

I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.

I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.

Each others' lives are our best textbooks.
