In my life, the stories I have heard from my family, my friends, my community, and from willing strangers all over the world have been the true source of my education.

Once women are not excluded, I don't think any of us will give a damn what pronouns are used. That wasn't the point.

The greatest warriors are the ones who fight for peace.

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

A lot of artists say, I'm not political. People are afraid of this word.

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

I like this life. I like it when it's hard, and I like it better when it's not, but I know you don't get the sweet part without the bitter.
