To make the revolution in the United States is a slow day by day job that requires patience and discipline. It is the only way to make it. . . .

My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.

The challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.

I hate to create cynicism about politicians. We just need to invade. Regular people need to run for office and keep their balls and ovaries intact.
