People have told me that Ive helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. Thats so amazing that I can make someone feel like that.

What I do is so important to me. It’s like being a parent, in some ways, of a super-demanding , high-achieving child, with a cry that sounds really cool on the radio.

I'm terrified of growing up. Once you become an adult, how to you step back from that? It's something that wakes me up at night.

Don't let some random comment that you wouldn't have even thought about overshadow something important that you were actually trying to say.

Don't be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about.

I do not need someone to complete me, but if you wanted to, we could walk next to each other into whatever is coming next.

The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.
