My creativity and my political work are linked. I don't do this work out of guilt or out of responsibility.

I don't believe in nirvana. If nirvana was handed to us on a silver platter, this would be the first day of our struggle to keep it.

I am selfish. I reach for the world I want to live in. And I believe in leaving our best we can do to our children

All my life I have gone out on a limb, but I have turned the limb into a bridge, and there is cool, clear water flowing under.

In less than a century we experienced great movement. The youth movement! The labor movement! The civil rights movement! The peace movement! The solidarity movement! The women's movement! The disability movement! The disarmament movement! The gay rights movement! The environmental movement! Movement! Transformation! Is there any reason to believe we are done?

Peace can start with just one heart.
