"The religions are patriarchal. I don't believe in any of them, or a God, or a Goddess."

She described her family circumstances as "genteel poverty".

Her father's alcoholism negated his career as a cinematographer for legendary filmmaker D.W. Griffith and forced the family to live "on the kindness of my mother's relatives."

The guy has been through so much in his life. It’s crazy to arrest him now. Let it go. The government could spend its money on other things."
