It's the 21st century. It's untenable to suggest that women had no significance and no interest and that just because they didn't vote they had no relevance to the course of our history.

I don't think I was a catalyst for the women's movement.

Women didn't want to be on the stage with other women because they didn't want their bodies to be compared. They didn't want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude.

The voices of women need to be heard. The volume needs to be turned up.

The voice of women, the voice of those most closely involved in bringing forth new life, has not always been listened to when it pleaded and implored against the waste of life in war after war.

Men don't hear women.

There weren't many women ahead of me.

There's still not as many women in music as men, and I don't really know why. I don't have the answers. I do wish there were more women that played music.

Women did not have as many options as men, and I need to reflect that reality in my mysteries.

I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.
