Most men are not that evolved.

I have trouble saying hu ... hu ... husband.

Art is such an important part of our culture.

So many people put older women out to pasture.

It's so hard to keep everything balanced in life.

Being fierce is a compliment! It's not an insult.

You have to pay the bills when you're a single mum.

When I was doing indie films, it wasn't cool and hip.

It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.

It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.

Music is the universal language that everyone can understand.

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

Fortunately, we have a lot of really smart women in the business.

It's so hard to be a mother and to also want to practice your art.

It's so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny.

I think I live life really spontaneously. That drives people crazy.

In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business.

It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women

I know parents have a hard time letting their kids spread their wings and fly.

My childhood shaped the person I became. It was artistic, musical and left-wing.

I never really played the game, doing what it takes to be a star, to keep your mouth shut.

Look, it's to the point where kids are getting Botox. It's insane. We're not allowed to age

If things aren't going so well, I try to stay positive and not give in to negative thoughts.

Look, it's to the point where kids are getting Botox. It's insane. We're not allowed to age.

Yes, just by the nature of the colour of my skin, I was born with privilege. And it is unfair.

I spent many years seeking self-awareness and wondering what I should be doing on this planet.

My parents were activists and my mother was hugely involved with the anti-Vietnam War protests.

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me

I've never kept my mouth shut, especially as my industry is so misogynistic. I've got a reputation as a troublemaker.

I think Americans have always been pretty outspoken. I always found that if you had emotions in England, it's like, 'Here's a cup of tea.'

There's no way I'm going to put this kid in the movies, because of the rejection. It's so hard as an adult, so why set her up to feel that bad as a child?

Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. That's all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way.

There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there.

Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business. Which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.

I feel offended when people bring up my four marriages. I was 19 when I first got married and I thought it would be for ever. But each of my marriages has added to my life and helped form me as a human being.

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.

I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age

Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked
