There's this resistance to actually talking to people who are smarter than you about things and I don't know why that is.

Feminism now seems to be defined as success is defined: as being as good at capitalism as men are. I feel very estranged from it.

I understand maybe some people are more impressionable than my hard, cynical self, but maybe they need to figure out how to be less of that.

I don't behave the way people necessarily want me to, but I tried behaving that other way for a short period of time and it didn't take.

I mean, many times your creative problem is accidentally your personal problem, but it's not quite the same.

Most of what I do is for creative people - writers and painters and photographers - trying to work through creative problems.

I don't think that I can be settled and I don't think that I would ever want to be.
