I think the importance of doing activist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as a single individual who may have achieved whatever but to be a part of an ongoing historical movement.

I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that color is not important. What is important is the quality of our work.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first.
