I'm motivated by injustice, which is embedded and constant and wrong - not by a vernacular soundboard.

Empowering women isn't for women, but for the world.

The goal of equality seems to disproportionately burden women, since it's assumed that they have to assume more responsibility, while men can remain the status quo.

[T]he presence of feminism in our lives is taken for granted. For our generation, feminism is like fluoride. We scarcely notice we have it - it's simply in the water.

My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.

The more we refuse to buy into our inner critics - and our external ones too - the easier it will get to have confidence in our choices, and to feel comfortable with who we are.

Gird your hearts with silent fortitude, Suffering, yet hoping all things.

Your woman pisses you off so that gets in there; that's rock n roll.
