I Don't Know If I'm A Heroine; I'm Just Somebody That Can Cheer The Troops By Singing To Folks, And Have Receptions After The Show, And Tithe A Dollar Of Every Ticket Sale For All Kinds Of Different Great Charities And Social Action Groups.

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.

I'm Sure I Would Have Been Considered A More Significant Artist If I Was A Singer-songwriter. It's Just Not The Way I Roll. I Love Being A Curator And A Musicologist. People Write Me Letters And Thank Me For Turning Them On To Fred Mcdowell And Sippie Wallace, And That's Partly My Job This Time Around.

I Think I'm A Living Embodiment Of, 'don't Try To Push Me Around Or Squash Me,' Whether Its How I Talk To A Record Label Or In My Relationships.
