"[Defining yourself through church] is a cultural affiliation before
it's even a personal one. It's a tricky task to deconstruct what you
believe versus what you've just inherited through participation."
"...I'd
had a pretty charmed life, and while that was great, no good thing can
come from an existence where you are rarely required to be
uncomfortable....Privilege you don't understand is massively dangerous."
"No
one was around to help Harry fight his nemesis. No Hermione, no Ron, no
Dumbledore, no anyone. No one was there to bail him out, and he alone
was responsible for his choices. I know Harry Potter is about so much,
but for me, it's about the process of growing up and the realization
that all of the layers of protection in your life--your parents, your
friends, your mentors, your church-- they all exist to support you, but
they do not exist to do your life for you."
