I don't think I set out to have a career in female groups, but it's just kind of happened, and by nature of having worked with my sister - growing up with a sister who also plays, and being in communication with other female musicians.

Some people still believe you should just fall in line with what's going on - and that's scary. It makes a mockery of freedom of speech.

Being a musician doesn't take away your right as a citizen to speak your mind.

Constant contact is what people require these days. It's tough on artists.

I share the opinion of those of broader vision, who see in the signs of the time hope of humanity for peace.

I think we've made tremendous progress on racism. We've even made progress on war. We've made almost no progress on poverty.

When Ukrainians kill Ukrainians, I believe this is as close to a civil war as you can get.

I was six when the war started. It was terrible. My house was destroyed, so we went to live with my grandparents. The whole family was there, maybe 15 people all staying in an apartment about 35m square. It was very hard.
