First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.

I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.

I just don't know any other word than "feminist" that describes a person who believes women are people.

If you don't ask the right question, every answer seems wrong -

Lying in bed, you know, you don't seem so tall.

If a politician is running in your local community who's pro-choice, who's feminist in their thinking, get behind them. Send them some money! If you have no money but have time, lick stamps!

People who are just starting out are always sort of coming to me for advice as the example of "independent girl," and lots of people ask, well, how did you get the booking agent or the national distribution or the tours? And I look at them like, "Good lord! Relax!" I mean, how I did it was to not care about it and to not even think about it for years and years. All I thought about was getting the next little gig in the little bar, and I get this sense that people want me to give them the secret formula or the magic trick to make it all happen.
