I think Pussy Riot is amazing. I'm honored that they were inspired by riot grrl, and obviously they're making history around the world.

There are so many times that, as a woman in the music industry, you're asked questions no male musician would ever be asked.

I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.

It's great for my daughter to see Beyonce and Taylor Swift, women that are in charge of their own careers, writing songs from their own perspective and taking people to task. That's very different from when I was growing up - it was all like, 'Stand by your man.'

I'm pretty straightforward as a performer, but I do have a bit of a diva in me.

I think that, by and large, the predominant voice we hear in rock music is a white male voice.
