When you go out for drinks, tell people to bring in a news story that made them say "Oh my god." Talk about it.

One of the first things Catholic school taught me is that babies were born sinners. You sucked before you took your first breath.

My curiosity is not a choice. It's always been part of me. I think of it as a vital organ.

Write a smart joke and people want to talk about it and keep the dialogue going. Also, if you can make someone laugh, it's a pronouncement that they like you on some level.

Just talk about the issues that are impacting you and your friends.

You don't have to be famous. You just have to find your own coven of bad-asses that you trust and want to empower.

You can't solve a problem until you address the problem.
