I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.
I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.
We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.
Trying to force creativity is never good.
Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.
