• I do feel it's crucial that women's opinions be taken equally with men's. But still'I have not been accepted by the American white feminist writers and activists, and frankly I don't care to be, so I am a womanist. I am feisty and I am given to womanish behavior.

• i el Gobierno va a poner dinero en el sector del automóvil, debería disolver GM y Chrysler como condición para la ayuda financiera, y debería ser ecuánime en su trato a las empresas de nueva creación como Tesla, Miles, Fisker y otras. Sería terrible matar a los empresarios que han asumido grandes riesgos para sacar al mercado nuevas tecnologías automovilísticas inyectando dinero de los impuestos en los gigantes que lo han hecho todo mal durante los últimos años.

• Hubo un tiempo en el que tuve mucho miedo escénico y básicamente me sentí... increíblemente enfadada. Sentía que me lo habían quitado todo y fue en ese momento cuando me di cuenta de lo mucho que hacer stand up me recuerda mi amor propio y la curiosidad por mí misma y el amor por los demás, porque no subo al escenario para dominar.

• It's completely different, for instance, to report on poor farmers in Africa than it is to report on, say, poor African-Americans. The familiarity of my readers with the terrain, and their preconceptions, are quite different in those two cases, and their perspective, as I imagine it, has to be taken into account at every turn.

• I feel like somehow I'm living my life mentally in reverse. It's taken me to my 30s to feel relaxed and comfortable in my skin. I think I'm going to be dancing on tables when I'm 50. I really hope I am.

• Jugar no tiene por qué ser algo frívolo. Puedes pensar que una sinfonía de Beethoven es algo serio, pero no por ello deja de interpretarse. Creo que Oscar Wilde decía que la vida es demasiado importante para tomársela en serio.

• I don't know if most people have truly taken on board what this says about our place in the natural world. It doesn't mean that humans are dominating the Earth, ruling over all of nature. In fact, it is a reminder that we are only a tiny part of nature, at the mercy of a system whose operations predate us by billions of years, and will continue billions of years after we're gone.

• Recordemos los sueños utópicos del siglo pasado, o incluso del siglo anterior, en los que la gente pensaba que las máquinas acabarían por darnos una calidad de vida en la que nuestras necesidades estarían cubiertas para que todos pudiéramos ser básicamente artistas juntos por la noche, después de haber pescado, cazado, criado ganado... o lo que Marx imaginara para nosotros.

• Ugh, puppy mills. These commercial breeding facilities are horrendous. The animals are kept in tiny wire cages, with little to no human interaction throughout their lives. They are rarely, if ever, seen medically and are forced to breed over and over again and watch as their babies are taken away from them and sold to pet stores. It is a supply-and-demand business, so the more people stop going to pet stores and choose to adopt instead, the quicker we can put an end to these puppy mills.

• Speaking for myself, but [Kriota] probably [agrees], I don't do different things because I have to, but certainly my career's taken a lot of twists and turns because things work out for a while and then something shifts and they don't. I went into illustration as a way of supporting my comics career. Then I got really interested in performance and I knew that was always going to be more of a hobby, but that's something I've kept doing.

• My first song was Hula Hoop Song, in 1955. It was a novelty song. I had to find someway to reach out and it was with a novelty song. Now, all of my recording obligations have been taken care of. I made 14 albums for Warner Brothers. Five for United Artist before that.

• What I`m starting to think of as the mythical beast of the Republican establishment, which is the sort of inchoate idea that we keep talking about what they`re going to do and it never seems to have much impact or be manifest in very visible ways, obviously, it is one thing for Donald Trump to have taken a shot like he did early in his campaign at John McCain, calling him not a war hero.

• Not that a poem can "hurt" someone the same way a physical blow can or even a mean remark can...I just felt unsure that my tone would be taken the right way and/or unsure of my own writing, that I couldn't maintain the tone I wanted.

• I think festivals are way more easygoing than back-to-back tours are. 'Cause for me, when you get to go to a festival, you get to hang out all day, and you're really taken care of, and there's usually a little artist village where all the artists have their own tents, and it's catered, and then you go and play an hour-long set depending on where you are on the lineup. And then you go back and you hang out and you even get to go watch other artists play. So it's really just a fun interactive experience for everybody.
