I have always employed humor, and I think it’s absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion. I mean, you can compel fear, as we know. You can compel love, actually, if somebody is isolated and dependent — it’s like the Stockholm syndrome. But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and make a third unexpectedly. It happens when you learn something, too.

I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.

No one can give us power. If we aren’t part of the process of taking it, we won’t be strong enough to use it.

Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.

If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?

I would write about issues and people I met along the way, but not about the process and the life of being on the road.

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