Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes.

I just really longed to do music that reflected me as an adult and music that I thought was for other adults.

I was always fascinated with rock 'n' roll, or girls, or something like that when I was a kid.

I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.

I realized I was a girl playing with all of these great musicians, but race and gender never did cross my mind, really, until other people started talking about them. They weren't really an issue for me.

I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route.

I always had a fascination with music.

I still love a variety of kinds of music.

I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records.
