Some days I would get so exhausted, nauseous, in pain - just from going back through things. It’s almost as if I had the experience and then the meta-experience Picture Quote #1

We have not yet made violence against women abnormal, extraordinary, unacceptable. We have not yet come to see it as a pathological issue Picture Quote #1

If you were around in the 60s, you already know that music and art and love are a critical part of the revolution. This is how we fight Picture Quote #1

I honestly never understood how violence against women became a women’s issue. 95 percent of the violence men are doing to women Picture Quote #1

I think we have to get bolder. Why after Fukushima didn’t we all go out and shut down all the nuclear power plants and stay there until it happened? Picture Quote #1

I think the world is always improving and always not improving. I think that both are simultaneously happening all the time. I don’t think it’s one motion unfortunately - I wish we could say it’s better, better, better - but I think it’s better, bad, better, bad - you know? Picture Quote #1

I would rate the fact that I get to be alive a big beautiful 10. Satisfaction with myself - work in progress Picture Quote #1

What I believe is that we have this extraordinary spirit inside ourselves, which for me is our Buddha nature. I believe we are in the process of opening and getting closer and closer to our Buddha nature and stripping away all that is covering it. I don’t think I’m going to end up meeting this one being up there or out there Picture Quote #1

I think being an activist and an artist is an interesting contradiction, because so often they are at odds with one another. When you write as an artist you have to clean the palate of your own politics in creating characters and activism is kind of the exact opposite Picture Quote #1

Between the combination of Judeo-Christian religious ‘be good be good be good’ and Capitalist ‘something’s wrong with you, buy this’ and the parental upbringing, which is ‘you’re wrong, you’re not thin enough, you’re not smart enough’ I mean, hello! We don’t have a shot Picture Quote #1

People are sad. People are broke. People are worried about money, people are worried that they’re not enough and not amounting to anything and they don’t feel good about themselves. People have rough times, and everybody’s pretending it’s not true, and we need to break that veneer Picture Quote #1

I have been a depressed person most of m life. I was always in the throes of self-hatred Picture Quote #1

Why are women immobile? Because so many feel like they’re waiting for someone to say, ‘You’re good, you’re pretty, I give you permission’ Picture Quote #1

I began to see my body like an iPad or a car. I would drive it and demand things from it. It had no limits. It was invincible. It was to be conquered and mastered like the Earth herself Picture Quote #1

I wake up every day and I think, ‘I’m breathing! It’s a good day.’ Picture Quote #1

Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution Picture Quote #1

I think all my work’s been about how do women get back into our bodies; how do men get back. We’re all disassociated Picture Quote #1

I think the human species is very suicidal Picture Quote #1

I despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others Picture Quote #1

I really want to help stop violence toward women Picture Quote #1

The fact that women have been moving forward, that a woman was running for president, that we had a black president - I think there was, without a doubt, a whitelash and a complete backlash against the liberation of women, against the power of people of color Picture Quote #1

The cancer in me became an awareness of the cancer that is everywhere. The cancer of cruelty, the cancer of carelessness, the cancer of greed Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve always had these two currents, equally strong, of wanting to change the world and make the world better and fight injustices and fight violence, and then being an artist, which is a very different strain Picture Quote #1

I think when people begin to tell their stories, everything changes, because not only are you legitimised in the telling of your story and are you found, literally, like you matter, you exist in the telling of your story, but when you hear your story be told, you suddenly exist in community and with others Picture Quote #1

My dream is that people will find a way back home, into their bodies, to connect with the earth, to connect with each other, to connect with the poor, to connect with the broken, to connect with the needy, to connect with people calling out all around us, to connect with the beauty, poetry, the wildness Picture Quote #1

I got to a nine-hour surgery, I lost lots of body parts and rearranged, I got really months of infection that I lost 30 pounds. But the idea of pumping poison into my bloodstream just - I couldn’t, I couldn’t Picture Quote #1
