Sometimes I feel as if four thousand years of silencing women, of the fear of women who were burned in oil or eviscerated in front of their daughters, is imprinted deep within me and has altered my DNA.

Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!

Follow your heart, your instincts. People might try to dissuade you from your passion, but no one can live your life but you.

Thankfully, it became clear to me that when I compete, I lose my connection to the passion I have for my work.

Most of us are not real eager to grow, myself included. We try to be happy by staying in the status quo. But if we're not willing to be honest with ourselves about what we feel, we don't evolve.

I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me.
