Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much as for getting your point across.

It's like Samson and Delilah: watch your back, because trouble could be the person you're sleeping with.

I am not a nostalgic person.

Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it.

You leave home, and then when you come back, you have a kind of perspective that you didn't have before that in some way problematizes your relationship with your family. You just start to be able to have a sort of double vision about them and who they are and how you grew up that can be really painful.

It's absolutely crucial that every child-serving organization - be it an elementary school, daycare, or community center - provide its children with time and space to play.

I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.

My mum was a big fan of E.L.O. and Elvis Costello. She used to play that, consistently, all the time when we were kids. And my dad, he would claim to be a singer... You know, he loves singing, and he used to sing a lot when he was a kid and at parties and stuff like that. So I come from a very party-musical family.
