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.

The older you get, the more you are aware that everybody has a certain way of seeing things, which they have to honour.

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.

I wake up every day and I think, 'I'm breathing! It's a good day.'

I think that anytime you get clear about what your mission is or what your focus wants to be, things start to come together in your life.

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.
