I hope we can be consummate artists as women or revolutionaries, or whatever women want to be, and also have love, not only for ourselves but from a partner.

Music is art, art is life, and we are who we are, and all of these aforementioned women, unless they should choose not to, will be performing well into the next many decades because they are great artists.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

We throw at female artists this expectation that their work has to speak to the female experience. And if it doesn't, you're letting the side down. Throwing this stumbling block in the way of female artists is counterintuitive.

People ask why there are so few female artists who succeed. It's because women are not ready to sacrifice as much as men. Women want a man, they want a family, they want to have children, they want to be loved, and to be an artist. And they can't; it's impossible.

There's no question that many more women artists are showing worldwide now than they were when I was a young woman, and that's really great.

I really believe that women run the art world.

We showed the industry that female artists could attract the same audiences as the big male stars.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.
