It Is Still A Surprise

There's Lots Of Flaws And Frailties And Cracks In The Armor, And Nobody Wants To Put Themselves Out There As Some Kind Of Joan Of Arc Because None Of Us Can Live Up To That, But I'm Grateful To Be A Role Model And Be Respected Because I Have A Whole Slew Of People, Men And Women, That I Feel The Same Way About.

I Have Been Really Heartened By How Much Coverage There Has Been About Inequality Of Pay Across The Board, Between The Entertainment Industry And Almost Every Industry Worldwide. And Just The Problem Of Young Women Not Getting An Education, Not Being Able To Have An Equal Position In The Cultures All Around The World.

I Think That We Have A Unique Opportunity As Performers And Artists To Be Kind Of The Town Criers And Also To Get More People To Listen, So That's A Blessing And A Responsibility That I Take Very Seriously.

I Don't Need Any Drug To Show Me Heaven And I Sure Know How To Spend Plenty Of Time Cleaning Hell But I'm Missin' That Feeling Of Falling.

Those Of Us Who Grew Up In The '50s And '60s, We Had The Dream That This Could Be Turned Around, And The Earth Could Be Back In Balance, And That We Could Level The Playing Field With Men And Women And Pay, And You Know, Minority Groups Having Equal Opportunity. We Just Magically Thought This Was All Going To Happen: We Were Going To Have Clean Food, And Organic This, And Conscious That, And It Just Didn't Happen.
