It's like drinking a cold fucking glass of lemonade on a hot day.
Even if I don't agree with everything he says.

And women, we need to do more of it because your voice...
It has the power to heal people.
It has the power to help people.
It has the power to tell stories that transform people's lives.
Your self-expression and your art has the power to transform people's lives.
But the art that's trying to wriggle its way through you and come out in this beautiful, juicy fruit for others to gorge on, it can't come out the way it's supposed to come out if you're too busy about pleasing everyone, yeah?
What's that Dita Von Teese quote?
You can be the juiciest peach in the world.
And there's still going to be some fucker that doesn't like peaches.
You can be the juiciest, most perfect little fuzzy little peach.
And there's still going to be some fucker that says, oh, I hate peaches.
So what are you going to do, little cute fuzzy peach?
You can't please everyone.
Make your juicy, gorgeous, ripe fruit that you...
And it's going to find other people that love that juicy fruit too.
But don't make some bullshit fruit that you don't even like.
