The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as a beneficent and independent power.

I thought maybe I would become a god, or a goddess, or a president or a Nobel Prize winner.

I'm not a goddess, for crying out loud. I'm a regular person who took feminism - which I have a deep connection to - and mixed it with music, which I really love to do.

Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.

We have perpetrated a myth in our society that being brave means not being afraid, but that's wrong.

For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.
