Quotes edit
- Historically, the image of women in pop music has been so totally ornamental - sexual, but predictably so. It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years. Certainly, if you look at the pop charts as a measuring stick, you'd think it hasn't come far at all. But women do feel less like victims now than they did twenty years ago. At heart I'm a feminist, but I'm also a feminist for men. Men should be liberated from the roles that are foisted on them also.
- I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
- We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.
Song lyrics edit
Diva (1992) edit
- I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking.
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides, why can't you see this boat is sinking?- "Why"
- And If you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
'Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
'Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear
