Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

I try to not think too much about how stuff gets seen as it's being done by a woman. Because if you think about it, then you end up thinking about how you're acting, and if you are thinking about how you're acting, then you are preoccupied and you're going to end up being insincere. You're kind of not present.

I'm an aggressive woman who gets things done, and that's the way it is, and I've never been embarrassed about the fact that I am pushy.

I have always said I've had a big personality, and I've always said I'm a pushy broad, and I've always said I want to get things done.

How to get things done: 1. Do it yourself if you can even if it makes you uncomfortable, 2. If you can't ask someone who can show you how.

At this point in my life, I'm not going to spend a lot of time focusing on dissatisfaction with who I am, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time tempering my personality. Whatever job I have next, I'm going to be somebody who wants to get things done.
