I've always been a big supporter of equal rights and encouraging people to be who they are.
No one really knows who I am or where I came from in America, and there's something quite nice about that.
I think everybody has the right to be who they are and not be chastised.
In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.
The greatness of this country lies in how every single person can exercise their right to be himself or herself.
My number-one goal is to never feel like I'm strictly defining myself. The minute I feel like I'm doing that as anything - as theatrical, as feminist, as songwriter - I feel like the minute I name it, I'm stuck in a box.
A woman should be allowed to be whoever and whatever she wants to be and she should be respected for that.
