I love life. I wish I could live another 500 years, truly. There is so much to do. I don't feel bitter or angry or disappointed. If anything, I am very grateful for where I come from. I have absolutely no regrets.

If you can survive in the desert, you survive anywhere. I know more than anything life in desert. You can tell by looking at the dirt how long ago it rained, how hard it rained, how much water came through. You can by looking at a plant, a tree, from an animal's look. I can read the desert like I read my hand.

Every day, women move mountains. It is an insult to have an international women's day.

Brooklyn's good. Brooklyn's funky. Brooklyn's happening.

Personal style? I don't really believe in that. Whatever is comfortable.
