I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.

When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.

It's important to have a voice; it's more important to use it.

People that are much younger in areas that are much more, kind of, disenfranchised, I guess, as far as the gay movement goes, they still have a language that they've discovered around things. And they have a vocabulary to use, and they have a way to express themselves even when they're not accepted.

I grew up in the South and once you get raised on Jesus, it is kind of always a part of you even if you are a pagan, really.

I think the musicians I play with solo do a certain thing that the musicians we play with with the Indigo Girls don't do. It's just a different thing. And it sort of steers my writing in some ways.

Yeah, we appreciate our women followng...and I love women. I mean, I just really love women. I love men, too, but you know it's like sometimes you look up from what you're doing and you go, 'I love women.' There's just something about them and so, just celebrate it.
