Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don't notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.

All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.

I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.

When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.

I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
