Every straight man I know is a feminist. They wouldn't be my friends if they weren't.

By the time I was about ten, I had started to lose faith with church ways. I was educated in some ways by my high school government and history teachers.

Things are changing. They need to change more. It should not be of any note that a woman does something, because women do everything.

I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.

You don't want to say somebody did a great job of acting. You want to say, "Where did he find that person? How did he get that factory worker to come out of the factory and be on camera?" You want to believe that person is real.

Singers, musicians, and songwriters don't want to use the word "acting" because we want it to be more real than that - we want it to come from us: naturally, truly, really.

The line is very delicate and fine between being what one might call sane or insane, well or unwell.
