It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'

You know, my mum's always encouraged me and never made my gender an issue, I guess. She brought me up to believe in equality, as opposed to feminism or sexism - so it just meant that my gender was not relevant to what I was capable of achieving.

I'm not a downtrodden woman. I just won't be.

When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.

For example, if I make money, I put it in real estate. I always did very well. Location, location, location.

We started playing music from an early age and so we wasn't really aware of that side of it, the weird thing is the more successful you get the more free booze and drugs you get, they should be given to the bands who don't have the money.

The historical basis for the gap between the black middle class and underclass shows that ending discrimination, by itself, would not eradicate black poverty and dysfunction. We also need intervention to promulgate a middle-class ethic of success among the poor, while expanding opportunities for economic betterment.
