Your own shoes are hard enough to fill, but somebody else's are even tougher.

If we truly want to end youth homelessness... then we have to invest in prevention and support communities as they work to implement these life-changing efforts.

It is not a dirty word, "feminism." I just think that women belong in the human population with the same rights as everybody else... The problem is, "A feminist looks like this, or is like that." We are taught not to like ourselves as women, we are taught what we're supposed to look like, what our measurements are supposed to be. I never hear what measurements men are supposed to be. Just women.

When I sing I don't feel like it's me. I feel I am fabulous, like I'm 10 feet tall. I am the greatest. I am the strongest. I am Samson. I'm whoever I want to be.

I'm not gonna worry about what people think about me. I'm too busy. I don't give a hoot.

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.

Where I come from, if you see your family and friends' civil rights being taken away, you speak up and do everything you can to keep that from happening!
