Favorite quotes from this talk See all
It's just a thought. Those thoughts are just as important as standing up and saying 'I am willing to do a little work.'
My art feeds my activism and my activism feeds my art.
We all start out with a lot of courage because we are born. That first house that held us got too small, so we had to get out and that's our mandate from then on—growing, learning, being curious, getting that air, getting that light, having that hunger...hunger helps courage, too.
