Our Bodies Are Critical. If I Learned

We Get Off Track. Capitalism Takes Us Off Track. You Get Off The "real" And Get On The "wheel." The "wheel" Becomes The Winning And Losing, The Succeeding And Failing, The "i Will Achieve." All That Stuff Becomes So Preoccupying, Particularly If You're Born With Low Self-esteem, Or No Sense Of Yourself, Or Even If You're Just Born In The Consumer Culture. It's Very Powerful.

People Need To Dance. I'd Say Dance At Least Twice A Day. That's How To Get Your Energy Up And How You Keep You Revolutionary Spirit Going. It's Emma Goldman Who Said, "any Revolution Where I Can't Dance Is Not My Revolution." I Think That's The Revolution We Want.

I Would Rate The Fact That I Get To Be Alive A Big Beautiful 10. Satisfaction With Myself - Work In Progress.

I Think So Much Of Neoliberalism And Capitalism Has Caused People To Live In A State Of Greed, Fear And Consumption That Is Covering Up So Much Of What We Really Want.

For Me, So Much Of My Life Has Been This Attempt To Find My Way Back Into My Body. I Tried Various Forms, From Promiscuity, To Eating Disorders, To Performance Art. And I Think It Wasn't Until I Got Cancer, Where I Was Suddenly Being Pricked And Ported And Chemoed And Operated On, That I Suddenly Just Became Body. I Was Just A Body. And It Was In That, In That Finally Landing In Myself That I Really Discovered The World In My Body.
