When my children were born, I didn't have them baptized because I felt baptism was about erasing Original Sin - something the Church said children got from their mother - and I absolutely refused to believe women carry Original Sin.

I think it's because most of us talk one way and live another. There are a few people who truly, truly walk the talk.

My husband is a fall-away Catholic, but with a vengeance. He's actually more of a feminist than I am.

I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don't think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness.

I think we're socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That's hard to do.

I feel it most in my work, because there aren't roles about women who are spiritually evolving. That anyone would even write something like that, something that's worth doing, would be a miracle!

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