I get very frustrated when I hear women saying, "Oh, feminism is passé," because I think feminism means empowerment. Men can be feminists, too! Many men are feminists. We need feminism. It's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. It's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.

One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.

Music is a great vehicle for communications, and I have a certain platform. I have an opportunity and I have to take it.

The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.
