I learned from admiration and osmosis.

All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.

People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me, they're too personal.

Freedom to me is a luxury of being able to follow the path of the heart, to keep the magic in your life. Freedom is necessary for me in order to create, and if I cannot create I don’t feel alive.

The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.

The bands and the roadies, love 'em and leave 'em. It's pleasure to try 'em, but trouble to keep 'em.

Musically, I would never run dry. Any time I sit down to an instrument, I could write a song.
