• The experience we all share and the outcomes, which have been remarkable in a way I never could have predicted.

• It has become a commonplace that aggressiveness also often has its roots in fear. I am inclined to think that this theory has been pushed too far.

Also, listen to critical feedback, particularly from friends. Generally they will be thinking it but they won't tell you.

• On moral grounds, I think that if you believe a certain outcome is a very possible outcome, you have an obligation to tell people that. With global warming, the probability of a bad outcome if we stay on our current emission trends is incredibly high. If you know a bad outcome is likely to happen, what right do you have not to communicate that? You go into a doctor's office, what are they going to do - not tell you the diagnosis?

• Any gay person understands at some point that he or she has to disappear, to become invisible. That's very difficult. You somehow have to kill yourself. This is asked of people who haven't got the tools to understand that it's all a social construction, and that they shouldn't inferiorize themselves. This is asked of little kids. But I still live in the same outcome.
