I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.

I know there's a lot of competition in the world of magazines and newspapers and we have to make headlines and be sensational and sell, and saying bad things about me is going to sell more papers than writing good things about me.

There's always elements of danger in New York but people are always out on the street. I don't feel scared there at all.

For me, it's either you're part of creation or you're part of destruction. It's inexplicable; it's like breathing, and I can't imagine not doing it.

I hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, "Hi, how are you?" I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed in places. It's just so rude.

I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.

If you want to change the world, change yourself.
