obviously size tumor
Before cancer, I was obviously disconnected. I had a tumor the size of a mango inside me and didn't do anything about it. It wasn't like I didn't know something was wrong.
further grew shake
I'm a feminist; I grew up with feminism, but I also think there's a way in which we need to shake things up so that we can push it further and in other directions.
love people
I try not to think about what people think of me. You can't, because then you get hung up in all the people who love you, and you've also got all the people who hate you, because of what you're doing.
certain everybody
The older you get, the more you are aware that everybody has a certain way of seeing things, which they have to honour.
extent freedom learned telling truth
I think theatre to some extent is always about telling stories, isn't it, and I think what I've learned is that freedom comes when you tell your story; freedom comes when you tell the truth.
change equally fight injustices wanting
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.
beauty calling connect dream home people poetry
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.
activism activist argue entire involved life movements people work
I've been involved in social activism my entire life, and I would argue that many people involved in social activist movements have done very little work on themselves.
connected flow opposite people
People think that when you're connected with other people it's more painful. The opposite is true. When you're connected to the river you have despair, but you also have joy, and there's a flow in the river.
protects relief strange truth vulnerable
It's a weird thing about the truth: It protects you. What really makes you vulnerable is when you're lying because you're going to get caught. When you tell the truth, there's a strange relief that comes.
reluctant stop women
At first women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy, but once they got going, you couldn't stop them.
cannot girls help shots
I think the girls need to play better because I can make some shots but I cannot make them all, so I need help from my team.
connected deeply drawn obsessed personal violated women
I was drawn to vaginas because of my own personal history, because of sexuality, because women's empowerment is deeply connected to their sexuality. And, I'm obsessed with women being violated and raped, and with incest. All of these things are deeply connected to our vaginas.
bad goal three win
Our goal was to win one of two, but it's too bad we couldn't win all three games. I feel like we can still play better.
