I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.

Before Katrina, you didn't see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn't even see criticism. It wasn't until Katrina that people started to come down on them.

There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism. People look at me sideways now and are like, With everything going on, the destruction of the environment, these endless wars, this capitalism that has a stranglehold on our culture and our world and you're talking about feminism still?

I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.

And if there's anything I do it's change and grow. I'm just a living being. Every year of my life I seem to learn that everything I know is wrong.

You're trying to fight gravity on a planet that insists that love is like falling, and falling is like this.

Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.

There isn't much I have to say, that I wouldn't rather just shut up and do.

I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement.

How come I can pick my ears but not my nose?

They see me as a symbol, and not a human being. That way they can kill me, say it’s not murder it’s a metaphor.

Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.
