You Have To Give To The World

The Clitoris Is Pure In Purpose. It Is The Only Organ In The Body Designed Purely For Pleasure.

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.

Security Is Elusive. It's Impossible. We All Die. We All Get Old. We All Get Sick. People Leave Us. People Change Us. Nothing Is Secure.

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.

Cherish Your Solitude. Take Trains By Yourself To Places You Have Never Been. Sleep Out Alone Under The Stars. Learn How To Drive A Stick Shift. Go So Far Away That You Stop Being Afraid Of Not Coming Back. Say No When You Don’t Want To Do Something. Say Yes If Your Instincts Are Strong, Even If Everyone Around You Disagrees. Decide Whether You Want To Be Liked Or Admired. Decide If Fitting In Is More Important Than Finding Out What You’re Doing Here. Believe In Kissing.
