I Sang A Lot As A Little Girl And Entered Competitions. I Loved Singing In Choirs, But It Was As I Got Older That I Really Found My Voice.

Every Artist Has To Make Their Own Statements And They Have To Live With Them.

I Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants That Have Gone Before Me, In Terms Of Affording People Like Myself, Women, The Access To Democracy, The Vote, Medical Treatment, Education, Everything That I've Been Given. It's All Been Earned. Therefore I Feel It's Incumbent On Me Personally To Just Contribute Something, To Add To A Collective Voice That Needs To Be Here Right Now, To Build It Up To A Tipping Point, To Make The World Aware That Women's Rights Still Have To Be Addressed And That The Word 'feminism' Has Been Devalued And Needs To Be Reclaimed.

I Grew Up In A Middle Class Household With Parents, Went To Good Schools, And Never Feared For Anything, Never Wanted For Anything That Was Really Important. For All Of Us Living In This World, All Of Us Who Have The Resources, For Us To Not Dedicate Ourselves To Giving Something Back, Is To Leave The World A Lesser Place.

When You Get To Be Nearly 60, You Do Take Stock. You Don't Know What's Around The Corner.
