music
When I started playing music, it was all face-to-face.
child great instrument musical piano studied theory understand
I think having musical training as a child was really, really important. I studied piano as a child. Piano is a great instrument to understand musical theory on. I think I have that in my brain somewhere.
musician people privileged
I feel really privileged that I've been able to be an activist and a musician for over 20 years now, and I've always been able to say whatever I want. I think that's something we Americans really take for granted, but it's a big deal, and it's not something most people in the world are able to do.
hear male music rock
I think that, by and large, the predominant voice we hear in rock music is a white male voice.
asked male music musician questions woman
There are so many times that, as a woman in the music industry, you're asked questions no male musician would ever be asked.
bands child daft dance great love music soul
I do love dance music. I love Daft Punk. I mean, I was a child in the '80s, so bands like the Eurythmics and just so many great '80s bands were dance bands, but they had the whole soul thing happening, too.
colored gets played seems sequence start takes wizard
I've played 'The Wizard of Oz' for my kids, but by today's standards, it seems really long. I don't know if there's enough action in it for them. And there's the whole black-and-white sequence in the beginning where she's on a farm. It takes a while to get to the colored part, and then it gets more exciting, and things start to happen.
I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.
freshman huge
I was a really big R.E.M. fan when I was like, in my freshman year of high school. I was a huge R.E.M. fan.
amazing history honored inspired obviously riot
I think Pussy Riot is amazing. I'm honored that they were inspired by riot grrl, and obviously they're making history around the world.
add argue creating delicious dinner family ground likely love results succeed success tried
I don't always succeed in creating a delicious dinner for my family; I would, however, argue for the likely success of Taco Night. Who doesn't love a taco? Make it with veggie crumbles! Add fish! Have you tried ground buffalo? The results are always impressive.
english given language love passed
My love of reading and the English language is something given to me by my parents, and I've passed it on to my children.
encourage fulfill incredibly kids trying
I feel really lucky. My fans are incredibly loyal. They encourage me to keep going. I feel more torn, trying to fulfill what my kids need. It's really huge. They're doing so well.
joined pay talking twenty women
Twenty years later, twenty years after I joined the women's movement, we're still talking about the same issues. We're still talking about reproductive rights for women, and we're still talking about getting equal pay for women. And that's just frustrating.
