It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

I hate to be the person that's like, "We're doing something that's never been done before."

The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE. Support these women and do not look at these pictures.

Don't wait around for someone else to tell your story. Do it yourself by whatever means necessary.

Directing is about as visual as I get and I will leave artmaking to the rest of the family.

I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.

I consider being female such a unique gift, such a sacred joy, in ways that run so deep I can't articulate them. It's a special kind of privilege to be born into the body you wanted, to embrace the essence of your gender even as you recognize what you are up against. Even as you seek to redefine it.
