I didn't even know what the word lesbian meant until I was called one... and then I had to look it up in the dictionary.

I didn't go to high school, I didn't go to college, I didn't have women's studies. All of my feminist ideals and education have been built around art and my friends and community. And so it's still growing.

I felt like going out on the road and mixing it with music - which is something young people are always really interested in - would be a good way to proselytize. It was like feminist evangelism.

People are actually having conversations about "Is this sexist?"

I wanted to say to myself as much as anyone else that we made art.

Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm the same as every other female singer.

Art revolves around creating something that isn't there.
