If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.

If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

Green is a label for a certain attitude to life, a certain kind of respect that one might have for the very source of things that we take for granted.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.

I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.
