My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.

I'm beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it.

I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record.

I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.

No drug is a cure, though. Drugs are just big pieces of tape they stick over warning lights.

You have to follow every melodic line, every emotional idea, or you don't get your money's worth.

If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.
