What is hidden in people?

I don't know what it is about people who see things in other people that don't see in themselves.

It was the beginning of the punk movement in the seventies. One day, I just decided to quit it all.

We all try to figure out what we want to do with our lives. I thought you went to school and found out what you do, then do it. Does that happen to anybody?

By us not talking about sex, then we allow rape culture, having unprotected sex, and not being able to negotiate to become the norm.

The way that you break binaries is by introducing multi-dimensional narratives of who we really are.

All work is dignified work.

One of the best pieces of advice I have ever received was to stop waiting for advice.

No matter what your career, your work is still work.

I quit my career to do what I love and it worked out way better than I ever expected.

I made a resolution to brainstorm something that made me happier than anything in the world and to start dong that every day.

The vision need to be authentic.

Innovation requires courage.

We always think that the future is about what's going to be added, but we don't think much about what we need to leave behind.

People often misconstruct reality. That is one of the greatest shortcomings of future thinking.

Taking risks is the key to free thought, new ideas, originality.

There are places in the world where people do not dream of rocker-powered unicorns and candy cane machines, of magic watermelon boats and musical baboons, or teeny tiny trumpet players training pet raccoons.

You have to try. You have to push yourself to do things.

I didn't assume that anyone would show up because I thought the people who don't have jobs are probably still asleep, and the people who do have jobs are at work.

The first step is being able to admit that you have a dream.

Perhaps these lessons are big enough that you can pull them down and form smaller bite-size lessons, put them in your pocket, carry them around with you, maybe use them today, tomorrow, fifteen years from now to make your life better.

It is only when you can name your prison that you can do the terrifying, but life affirming and necessary work of setting yourself free.

I went into prison thinking that it was my job to inspire these women, but what it turns out to be is that these women are inspiring me to get out of my prison.

I felt like the whole world had just opened up before me and that everything was locked into place inside me.

I was in this windowless classroom, down a windowless hallway, I had walked through four heavy steel doors that buzzed open and closed, yet I felt liberated.
