I think I'm speaking for a bunch of girls when I say that the idea that feminism is completely natural and shouldn't even be something that people find mildly surprising. It's just a part of being a girl in 2013.

I do not need someone to complete me, but if you wanted to, we could walk next to each other into whatever is coming next.

Like wildflowers you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.

Not in the swing of things but what I really mean is not in the swing of things yet

Don't let some random comment that you wouldn't have even thought about overshadow something important that you were actually trying to say.

With pop music and pop musicians, you know everything about everyone all the time, particularly their physical appearance. With female musicians, that's made a big thing of, and I think people, certainly with me, have appreciated a bit of mystery.

Don't be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about.
