Quotes
- “I love all those great 'f' words - feminism, folk music..”
- “In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.”
- “I believe in that step of not just making revolutionary music but making it in a way that challenges the system, Especially in this day and age when the tools for producing and distributing are more and more accessible to the average Joe and Josephine. The possibility of emancipation and control and independence is so much greater now.”
- “There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent.But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.”
- “I don't always feel lucky, but I'm smart enough to try.”
- “Every tool is a weapon - if you hold it right.”
