The advancements that women have made are very threatening to men in the job place. There haven't been that many women in politics. If you look at the conventions, it's kind of pathetic how many men are the heads of companies. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the reality should be.
Undoubtedly, Patsy Cline was a trailblazer and in that respect, all women who are singular in a man's field have a special power.
All men are created equal and all women are created equal as well, but [equality] seems much clearer when it comes to race issues. In the realms of man/woman, man/man, woman/woman love, it seems all up for grabs now. We are exploring so much, but I think we gotta go for the fight for all equality first.
I'm a little old-fashioned - I like it when the man opens the door and I like it when a man pays for me. I particularly like it when they pay for dinner or whatever, because I've pretty much done the opposite, but for the exception of James [Taylor], where we split everything down the middle.

I feel that if John Wilkes Booth hadn't shot Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln would have come through his pain and emerged like Livingston has. This album was made with the wisdom that comes from allowing yourself to be recklessly entwined with your agony and sorrow.
Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966 or '67, and everyone thought I was too eclectic.
Sometimes, but the year I lived in France I started to write songs.
No, because I've never really changed my style that much.
No, because I was always nervous about being onstage.
But when we listened to the radio, it was Bill Haley and the Comets or the Everly Brothers.
In other words, I built on what I had.
We need role models who are going to break the mold.
