There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.

I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.

When people ask me who I'd want to have dinner with, dead or alive, I always say, 'John Lennon.' I just feel that he was an artist who was, in his own way, committed to wholeness and authenticity in a not dissimilar way that I am years later.

I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.

I am not afraid of taking risks. We have to take risks for peace.

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!
