I'm a writer, not an activist. My job is to analyse things, to think them through and examine them.

Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.

I didn't wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn't help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.

Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.

It's funny how social activists usually protest against the only things that have a credible chance of achieving the activists' goals.

Activism has been very productive in our society.

You know, there's a lot of activism that doesn't deal with empowerment, and you have to empower yourself in order to be relevant to any type of struggle.

An activist is someone who makes an effort to see problems that are not being addressed and then makes an effort to make their voice heard. Sometimes there are so many things that it's almost impossible to make your voice heard in every area, but you can sure try.

Activism, to me, I don't know if it really works. It may work for somebody else, but it does not work for me.
