Every episode of 'The Conversation' was created to be a platform for women, to connect women, and to allow women's voices to be heard as much as possible. That's why I launched that show on a television network and online simultaneously.

Female friendships have sustained me from my earliest days as a child.

Some people would say having a feminist perspective is political, but I don't think it is. I think it's just having a female perspective.

I'm passionate about women's issues, and there are no outlets for that on TV, so I wanted to create one.

When we realize that something as primal as the food that we choose to eat each day makes such an important difference in addressing both global warming and personal health, it empowers us and imbues these choices with meaning. If it's meaningful, then it's sustainable - and a meaningful life is a longer life.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

I don't think my music is that big of a deal - my entire life is parenting. The fact that I make records and go off and play shows is a small percentage of my day-to-day existence.

We look for meaning and purpose; children bring that.
