My daughter could do and be anything, without having to fight to get through the glass ceiling. Without having it be so extraordinary. If my daughter went to produce a soundtrack for a movie, there would be nothing extraordinary about a girl doing it. When I did it, it was highly unusual.

I don't understand that about Taylor Swift, or about Joan [Mitchell] - how can she not say she's a feminist?! People don't understand what the word means. It simply means equal rights before the law.

Feminism has nothing to do with partisanship.

Every straight man I know is a feminist. They wouldn't be my friends if they weren't.

I always sing them as though they are autobiographical, even if they're not, and most of my songs do come from something about me.

The line is very delicate and fine between being what one might call sane or insane, well or unwell.

Things are changing. They need to change more. It should not be of any note that a woman does something, because women do everything.
