To come to a concert and hear a lot of songs from a female perspective should not make men say, 'Oh well, that's for women'.

There are women in every genre having a lot of success. Why not celebrate that?

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

I wanted something that had the feel of a complete band and a variety of instrument. Apart from doing the album for musical satisfaction, I felt it was an important statement for other women - showing you don't have to rely on other people to do things for you.

No matter where I go, I actually have a lot of couples coming and telling me that one of my songs was instrumental in strengthening their romance!

There have always been female artists and singers putting bands together all the time. But we were not always getting credit for that because we didn't know any better.

Every leading lady I work with, I'll see if I can get a song out of them and put it on an album.

I encourage interoffice romance.

We decided to focus on women because no one was singling them out.

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.
