I still define myself by the places that I've been.

What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.

Women who don't control their own reproductive rights are not free.

Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules.

a lesson must be lived in order to be learned and the clarity to see and stop this now that is what i've earned

For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.

My feminism has evolved way beyond self-empowerment and I see feminism as a path to peace on earth. The fundamental imbalance that is behind all of the other social diseases is patriarchy. I do believe. As men and women, together, I really long to feel my society evolve its understanding since we're one of the leaders in the f-word. I want us to grow our idea of feminism collectively and get both men and women involved in undoing patriarchy. It's huge. It's a huge job.
