Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.

There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we're arranged in a hierarchy, that we're ranked rather than linked.

Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
