We Have Not Yet Made Violence Against

There Is A Beautiful Expression In Nicaragua: "struggle Is The Highest Form Of Song". I Love That. We Are In The Struggle. It's Like A River. Once You Step Into It You Become The River. It's Not, You Go Out And Click On A Couple Of Charities That You Believe In, March In The Women's March, And You're Done. Struggle Becomes Your Life, Transforming A Paradigm That Is Based On Domination Into A Paradigm Of Co-operation. Fighting For The Liberation Of Women, Of People Of Color, Of Indigenous People, Of Lgbtq Communities. Fighting To Protect Immigrants And Assuring The Safety Of Refugees.

I Think Being An Activist And An Artist Is An Interesting Contradiction, Because So Often They Are At Odds With One Another. When You Write As An Artist You Have To Clean The Palate Of Your Own Politics In Creating Characters And Activism Is Kind Of The Exact Opposite.

You Have To Give To The World The Thing That You Want The Most, In Order To Fix The Broken Parts Inside You.

I Am So Grateful To Be Alive. It's Ridiculous To Be Alive.

I Think We Have Made Progress. There's No Doubt About It, We Have Moved Forward. But There's Some Essential, Core Thing That Has Not Been Deconstructed. And I'm Telling You, It's Connected To The Body. I Know It Is.
