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

Songwriting was always my 'plan B'. I didn't even know that songwriting was a job until my late teens!

To be honest with my music... for me to expect anyone to connect it has to come from a place of honesty.

I'll be honest; I'm a student of fashion. I say that because I just wear what I feel. I'm not led by name brands and things like that.

I do not go so far as the extreme male 'sexists' who contend that women should confine themselves to the home and children and that any search for alternative careers is unnatural. On the other hand, I do not see much more support for the opposite contention that domestic-type women are violating their natures.

Over 120 Aboriginal communities run their own health services - some have been doing so for 30 years. They struggle with difficult medical problems. They also try to deal with counselling, stolen generations issues, family relationships, violence, suicide prevention.

By the time I was a teenager, my desire to be daring and taste everything got me in trouble. Too often, I was in the company of kids my parents would call 'wild.'

I wasn't really aware that my father was working for quite a while. I thought it was my mother who had all the money!
