Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody... as a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.

If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, "Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming."

When you go to Africa, and you see children, they're usually barefoot, dirty and in rags, and they'd love to go to school.

The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.

Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.

I am a communicator; that seems to be my natural place. And I'll always be passionate about the world, because it's so bonkers.

To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.

I was a manic and eccentric kid. In my head I was very busy, so I must have seemed weird.

Pop stars are so busy having a career that they don't really have a lot of time for activism.

It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.

At times, I've been so absolutely terrified of what I was about to do, whether it was public speaking or performance. Whatever it was, sometimes it had me really, really shaking in my shoes, and I decided that I was going to do it no matter what. And, of course, the critic is there, and afterwards, there's this, "Was it good enough? Was it really all I wanted to say?"

I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.

Life is not quantifiable in terms of age, but I suppose in my fifties I am more grounded and more at ease in my own skin than when I was younger. I have a confidence that I didn't have before from the experiences I've had.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.

I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.

I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.
