We have to really be intentional right now about holding the media accountable, and taking back the discourse and terms of discussion. It's been hijacked.

I like to be an inspiration and an example of the idea that you can be independent, and it's no problem, and you can pay your rent, and it's empowering, and it's great. And that's true, but it also takes a really long time, and you have to have a lot of patience and a lot of conviction in why you want to remain independent.

Image
One thing I do find in the lost generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.

There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.
