Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world.
I've learned that while I'd be a fool not to stay open to the advice and experiences of the smart, amazing people in my life, I also need to listen to what I have to say.
We believe Frederick Nietzsche couldn’t have been more right when he said ‘without music, life would be a mistake’,
I find myself to be truly primal and passionate. Everything I do comes from a primal place.
I feel like B sides are always better, no matter whose record it is.
The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.
All women are NATURALLY, bad ass!
Cause I am a Superwoman, Yes I am, Yes she is, Even when I'm a mess, I still put on a vest, With an S on my chest, Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman, ... And all my sisters, Coming together, Say yes I will, Yes I can
And Im happy that Im not super skinny.
I'm a very caring person.
You are what you listen to
I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually.
You just can't take a day for granted. We had to work really hard for anything, and so that's been instilled in me. And I don't look at myself as better than anybody else, because in an instant everything can change.
