I am not Lyme disease, that's not who I am, I'm still a feminist artist, but this is a part of my story too, and I'm not going to keep it out to look cooler.

I would much rather be the obnoxious feminist girl than be complicit in my own dehumanization.

I'm not going to sit around and be peace and love with somebody's boot on my neck.

I started when I was in 'The King and I' when I was on Broadway when I was nine.

How withered away one can be from a life of unremitting toil.

Daily life shouldn't be a fashion show all the time.

Most people are much more unusual and complicated and eccentric and playful and creative than they have time to express.

The sole difference between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad.
