I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

Politics are always involved, even in my love songs.

I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

I am a humanist not a feminist. Theres a big difference.

I would be humiliated if I found out that anything I did actually became a commercial success.

My job is to confront apathy and confront all the forces that tend to batter each of us down with all kind of oppression, even self-oppression. I consider that the main job of the art that I do- to rattle the cage, wake people up, wake myself up, confront all that would conspire to keep us down.
