I’m deeply humbled and grateful for this award. I believe that for all the challenges, all of our challenges, we live a great moment in history, it’s a moment that at long last women have made it clear that we will not be controlled, manipulated or abused.

I'll meet a guy now, and the next thing I know they'll be sweating and their hands will be shaking. And I feel so bad - I don't even know what to say to them.
