I am not Lyme disease, that's not who I am, I'm still a feminist artist, but this is a part of my story too, and I'm not going to keep it out to look cooler.

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

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.

If you really hate me, you should at least have the courtesy to take out a piece of paper and write it down and mail it to me. If you're a worthy nemesis, I want to see your handwriting. I want to see your name and your address, and if you don't have the guts to give me those, then you're not a worthy nemesis.

It takes falling down a bunch of times before you start running.

I think as a culture, we don't like conflict or looking at icky stuff - especially in our downtime.

You guys are seriously missing out unless you all start listening to girls.
