writing character thinking
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.
struggle thinking people
I think the thing that has always made me happy is being in the struggle, in a community of struggle with other people.
writing passion voice
Writing and giving voice to what I am feeling makes me happy. And supporting people in finding their voice, passion, outrage and resistance. There is nothing better than that.
distance believe needs
I believe in fierce love, pushing the edge, calling the robbers, the corporates, the elites, the pillagers and insanely wealthy to task, going whatever distance we need to go now to protect our earth and each other.
thinking environmental looks
I think we just have to look at all the ways in which we are violating the Earth, each other, economic violence, racial violence, environmental violence - where we are dominating and not cooperating .
country thinking males
I think we are seeing the absolute and utter collapse of male politicians in this [U.S] country and we're seeing what the underpinnings of the power structure are, which are sexist underpinnings.
thinking america violence
I think violence against women in America has become ordinary - it's been made absolutely acceptable.
new-york paris saint

wall names body
What happens when someone throws you against a wall or tells you you're a jackass or puts you down or calls you bad names? It goes into your body. We hold it in our body. If we don't have a way to let that go and release that, it becomes sickness eventually.
cancer kind like-you
The minute someone tells you you have cancer, it's kind of like you die. You really do die. It's like you get that you're mortal.
moving issues people
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
joy hunger absence
You will touch this joy and you will suddenly know it is what you were looking for your whole life, but you were afraid to even acknowledge the absence because the hunger for it was so encompassing.
thinking talking different-experiences
I really do think how we frame things determines so much of our experience, and I've been talking to a lot of oncologists, like, why don't we call them transformation suites and give people transformation juice and have guides that support people when they're going through chemo so you could actually burn away what needs to be burned away, as opposed to this dread, terror, horror, which is a very different experience.
beautiful progress alive
I would rate the fact that I get to be alive a big beautiful 10. Satisfaction with myself - work in progress.
