I don't know what any individual should do about crossing her own borders. I only know that I live a happier, more adventurous life, by crossing borders.

...And nostalgia is a cancer. Nostalgia will fill your heart up with tumors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you are. You're just an old fart dying of terminal nostalgia.

All I owe the world is my art.

Well, as a native, as a colonized people you do live in the in between. The thing is I'm native. But necessarily because I'm a member of the country, I'm also a White American.

The world is divided by two different tribes. The people who are assholes and the people who are not.

A lot of native culture has been destroyed. So you already feel lost inside your culture. And then you add up feeling lost and insignificant inside the larger culture. So you end up feeling lost squared. And to never be recognized, to never have any power, you know, other minority communities actually have a lot of economic, cultural power.

Most of my heroes are just decent people. Decency is rare and underrated.
