Artists are traditionally resistant to labels.
I am very clear that I am not a feminist. It puts you into a category and I don't like that.
Don't associate me with comedy. And please don't say actress. I would never call myself any of those things. I hate it when people call me that.
I hate being called an 'icon.' I just don't like it. That's all there is to it.
I just try not to label myself in any way. I just have an allergy to labels in general. I can tell you that I am surrounded by very strong women and that I really appreciate that, but I'd rather not label myself.
I don't want to be labeled as a certain style producer; I just want to be producer and musician in general.
I absolutely will not allow anyone to call me grandmother. They can call me Auntie Joan, Dee-Dee, Cho-Cho, anything but grandmother. It pushes a woman almost to the grave.
I hate the word 'lesbian.'
I really didn't want to become branded as 'that multistructural guy.'
