I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work.

If you look at the footballers you look at our celebrity culture we seem to be saying 'This is the way you want to be'. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people.

For too long in this society we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community.

It's been a hard time to celebrate to come out with a smile. But I'm an American. Naomi asked me to come out to support other Americans and here I am.
