It's never the changes we want that change everything.

But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.

The body is what reminds us on a daily basis that we're human. The body defies us, it betrays us, we have to struggle with it, you know. And it reveals in curious and in abiding ways how we are not perfect.

For me, the battle isn't Hillary [Clinton] vs. [Bernie] Sanders. And I understand that for some people that's the battle. But for me, more than anything, it's stopping a Republican president.

There's nothing more true in being a child of a diaspora, a child of immigrants. We're completely new to our parents. We're not something they can ever understand. And it's not as if we are ever going to be accepted. We're accepted as long as we conform to what we are expected to be, and I'm sure that's not any different for anyone else.

I feel most like myself... after I run - I go out for five miles every morning.

Our relationship wasn't the sun, the moon, the stars, but it wasn't bullshit, either.
