Really life is about narcissism; no one is ever thinking about you much. You always think people are thinking about you way more than they are.

Opportunities present themselves to me. That's how my whole life has been pretty much. I've been lucky.

I had self-doubt about whether my story was interesting to people. I didn't want to write something that was anecdotal. It was important to me that people would get something out of my book. I want people to read it and say, "Now I don't feel so alone," or "I'm going to remember that next time I'm being an asshole."

I've always considered myself a feminist, I always considered myself somebody who is a reproductive rights activist, and I've spent the past 25 years of my life speaking truth to power. And using humor to do that.

North Carolina is an amazing place. It has the best food, and also has folks fighting really hard for what's right.

To really start talking about a narrative where there's no good abortion or bad abortion; there's only the abortion that you need, I think that message is really resonating and changing the landscape of how we talk about it. We're really moving forward.
