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.

By the time I was about ten, I had started to lose faith with church ways. I was educated in some ways by my high school government and history teachers.

Feminism has nothing to do with partisanship.

Singers, musicians, and songwriters don't want to use the word "acting" because we want it to be more real than that - we want it to come from us: naturally, truly, really.

I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.

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

I don't care how somebody gets their education, as long as they have one.
