I'm living in a world where there are LGBTQ straight alliances at high schools. I feel pretty psyched on that.

I'm not going to sit around and be peace and love with somebody's boot on my neck.

My political views have definitely changed over the years. Maybe a better way of saying it is that I have grown into my convictions; the values and ideas of radical feminism that I started to articulate in my late teens feel more internalized or "second nature."

I know what a good question would be for an actor. What's your least favorite thing that you've ever heard an actor say about acting? Or about being in a movie?

People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer.

I am such a bossy producer and such a control freak that there's a part of me that really longs to be bossed around.

There's comedians who I consider extremely punk rock who I've seen do very political stand up in places where nobody wants to hear that. It's uncomfortable and scary and you realize it's the punkest performance you've ever witnessed.
