Susie Bright

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten I really do send valentines to everyone.

I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I'm as vulnerable as anybody to the toxicity of the American nuclear family. But I wouldn't call it disease or moral failure as much as I would point the finger at a system that grinds people down like a metal file. Who doesn't need a drink? Who isn't going to crack and lash out at the people they love?

I could not take one more minute of trying to convince the people of Los Angeles that a workers_ revolution and a complete overhaul of society was a tiny bit more exciting than getting a bit role in a Burger King commercial
