I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.

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

I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.

I'm not an activist.

I've become an animal rights activist.

An activist is one who is actively involved in creating community, whether that is locally in their neighborhood or internationally. It is an admirable quality.

I'm on the board of the Sierra Club Foundation and am myself a big environmentalist. But the way to make the biggest difference is to change mainstream behavior.

I don't want to spend all my time working as an activist. I don't get satisfaction out of it. I'd rather be doing something else. I'm a musician.

I'm an artist, I'm not an activist.

Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It's very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don't view myself as a political person. I'm just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
