I am not here to entertain straight people.

MFA programs are to the world of art what gentrification is to your neighborhood.

People see themselves as 'succeeding' because they are individually exceptional -- they don't see that there is a mechanism that has made it possible for them.

Breezy journalistic sentences about wealthy white people unaware that other human beings are real became the rubber stamp product of the elite MFA programs.

You have to notice the truth in order to be able to avoid it.

You have to have coalitions in order to make change in America.

I've noticed throughout my long life that people with vested interest in things staying the way they are regularly insist that both change and accountability are impossible.

The wind smelled clean, like clean magazines. It smelled like invisible ink.

Sometimes a person has to stop talking about art for a moment and take a look around.

What I tend to tell my students is, “When you look in the mirror and see a smart, angry girl who wants to be free, you're seeing a paradigm that Kathy [Acker] helped bring into the recognizable.”

Since Freud, people think you either want to be a man or hate men. You only exist in relationship to men.

Don't become so materialistic and mechanized that one day you stop believing in God's created nature and the natural beauty, Enjoy god gifted natural beauty to the fullest as you have only one LIFE!!!

We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.

Someone has said that the marks of a strong church are wet eyes, bent knees, and a broken heart. We'll never be powerful until we let God be God and jealously guard His honor.

When we talk about self-realization, we're talking from the point of view of limitation of the mind. Real knowledge is to see that you are that - you are eternity.

Let your love to life be love to your highest hope; and let your highest hope be the highest thought of life!

Tape "Seinfeld" for me.

I, also, found the opportunity to work with the actors extremely gratifying and rewarding.

I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.

But I don't forget and I don't forgive.

Understanding is better than ignorance. Ignorance, unlike life, unlike narrative, is static. Understanding implies a forward motion, thus the possibility of change.
