We've never been as active politically as we have been as artists. But politics always brush up against the arts, oh, about every four years in this country.

Nancy Wilson

With my human rights advocacy, that's always been through my writing. I've always tried to write articles and contribute to journals and a lot of online journals - about human rights, especially Palestinian human rights. I find the time to do things to do things I'm passionate about, because I find enjoyment in them. I just have to juggle.

Randa Abdel-Fattah

My son has made me more politically active when it comes to LGBTQ rights. When he came out, I worried about what the world was going to be like for him.

Belinda Carlisle

I've always been passionate about human rights in general. I think anyone who knows me can attest to that.

Lauren Jauregui

Emerson was not passionate about abolition. He wasn't a passionate person. He was a cool intellectual, and I think he probably was a little uncomfortable with passionate people, but he was against slavery.

Nell Irvin Painter

I have always been politically active and vaguely dissatisfied with the state of news, but I wasn't sure why.

Thomas Sadoski

I've always been passionate about human rights in general. I think anyone who knows me can attest to that. I really wasn't given a voice until very recently, but I've always spoken out about the bullshit that's going on since the beginning of having a platform.

Lauren Jauregui

I moved to Chicago and began attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The students and teachers I met in Chicago were politically active and also passionate about the same things that I was interested in. It was a great match for me.

Stephen Beal

I'd rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I'm passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something.

Matt Cohen

I grew up in Illinois in an environment where my parents were very politically active in the civil rights movement.

Lucy McBath

Women need to take charge of their lives and be as dynamic and active as they can be. I know that some people feel that there's a negative connotation to the notion of feminism like it has some hidden and ugly undercurrent. But that's ridiculous. My mother was a feminist and she was very politically-minded and always anxious to defend women's rights and advance a lot of social issues for women.

Amy Poehler

If you're old and you're healthy and you're active - I don't mean you have to be politically active - if you remain interested in other people and the world, then you live as well as your health will allow.

Grace Paley

I've always been passionate about acting. I haven't been passionate about being famous.

David Alpay

Al is, and always has been, the person who has been the candidate - the elected official. And he is the one who makes policy. As his wife, I have the wonderful opportunity to advocate for causes that I am passionate about, and I'm thankful for that.

Tipper Gore

I have always been passionate about dancing and acting, and before I was passionate about it, I was fascinated by it.

Ishaan Khatter

American civil rights leader, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Lynching is a murder. For the past four hundred years our people have been lynched physically, but now it's done politically. We're lynched politically, we're lynched economically, we're lynched socially, we're lynched in every way that you can imagine.

Malcolm X
