“I decided early on in my activist career that I didn’t care about what other people thought, so long as I was doing work that I felt good about, and I’ve stuck with that. … I would feel awful right now if I believed any of the things they said about me. But I don’t, thank God. And I sold some videos, too, so hell yeah.”

The speaker seems absolutely lovely

Edit: I realized this sounds sarcastic, but I’m just in admiration for such a gracious response
