You do need to get lucky, no matter how talented you are.

If you don't find some way to discuss what's going on inside you, it can come out in other ways that are self-destructive.

I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either.

Kids accept where they are because they don't know the past. They know what they have; they know where they are.

There are people that grandstand and seem to be publicly politically engaged because they like the attention, more than because they're genuinely concerned about the world. But I don't think that's the majority.

The Black Lives Matter movement, the various Occupy movements in Spain and the rest of Europe, in this country, and elsewhere serve as an example of what can be done, and how strong the voices for positive change and truly democratic progress can be.

I pursue the things I do because I'm interested in them.
