My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.

It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain.

Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it.

There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasnt heard it.

To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.

I've been in a serious conversation with one of my children, and a fan has come up. I've been in a public bathroom and had the hand come under the stall with a paper and pen. That sort of thing anybody can live without.

I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend.
