I really want women to appreciate their power. It was obvious to me that lots of people are comfortable with power, and they see what it can do, but women's expression of it was never as comprehensive as it could be. It seemed like an amazing gift that Oxygen could give.

I think I've really learned how important it is to empower women.

Having a mother who had been an aeronautical engineer convinced me that more things should be open to women.

One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique.

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

My ideals told me that men and women could both go out to work and be truly equal. My children told me something more complicated, something I really didn't want to hear. Their need for me was like the need for water or light: it had a devastating simplicity to it.

I liked being active. I liked being creative.

For my first fragrance, I wanted to capture the essence of a woman's strength and beauty.

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.

I'm really inspired by playing strong women. Anything that I can be a part of like that, to be a role model for young women.
