Quote

I was in a profession that received a lot of media.

I'm obsessed with media and the way audiences can become creative participants.

I've always moved between media. Some ideas just work better in some media than others.

Working with the media remains an effective and essential way to raise issues, educate the public, and prod policy-makers and corporate leaders to change for the better.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of media as a tool to encourage civic engagement and participation, and the importance of a diverse and well-informed public.

I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years.

I am not one of the new media experts working all the time with my computers and the PowerPoints and things of that sort.

I don't do the media because of 'Woo-woo, Julia Butterfly,' as I call it. I'm not into promoting me. I'm into talking about why I've done what I've done, why I continue to do this work and why other people should care.

I want to be very careful about judging and how much to generalize about the use of media being pathological. For some people, it's a temptation and a pathology; for others, it's a lifeline.
