I do believe that music has an intense power to connect us together, to inspire us to become ourselves.

I fight with love and i laugh with rage....you gotta live light enough to see the humor, and long enough to see some change.

When I was like sixteen, I was a total chick I had big hair. I was seen as this attractive girl, and I would get all this attention. And then I just cut off my hair, and I quit playing that game.

I feel like we need to understand feminism more as a tool to mediate, counteract, to ultimately defeat patriarchy and restore balance to our government, our culture and our ways of thinking and structuring the world. I think we've had a very "masculine" sensibility for a long time, and I think we need to go back to the roots of social imbalance. I think we have to try to right that first, and from there and all these more pressing issues will follow.

For every hand extended another lies in wait. Keep your eye on that one girl...anticipate.

I turned my pain into art and my hard work into a career. Helping myself has helped others. helping others has helped me.

All the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks a question.
