Suzanne Vega
I was the oldest child, and both my parents worked, so I had a great deal of responsibility from a very young age.
Suzanne Vega
To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.
Suzanne Vega
In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.
Suzanne Vega
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
Suzanne Vega
I didn't go out looking for fights as a kid, but if it was necessary, I'd fight. Fighting was a daily thing where we lived.
Suzanne Vega
I still consider myself a feminist.
