In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.

To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, "Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming."

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.

Nelson Mandela is awe inspiring - a person who really sacrificed for what he believed in. I feel truly humbled by him.

As a creative person, you just put something out into the consciousness of the society you live in.
