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.

I don't have a beef with any female artist.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.

I own works by women artists; it is hard for me to see, literally to see, how women and men differ in the quality of their work. Why are women artists less known and less admired?

I've always gotten along best with artists.

In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.

There are some artists that don't like working with other females, which is fine. They have their own thing. I personally love being surrounded by other females.

I don't understand business minds. I consider myself an artist, and they just really don't mix.

There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.
