“Meanings are often attributed to something that creates a convenient narrative, though, of course, they aren't necessarily valid. But I don't mind. The song belongs to the listeners once I release it. It's theirs to do with whatever they want, and I don't nor- mally go around saying, 'Well, no, that's not what it means.'

“We already had two guitars, a drummer and Stuart Sutcliffe, the bass player. There happened to be a piano on the stage where we played… So, I became the pianist in the group. What was quite funny was that Stuart didn't have any spare bass strings, so if one of his bass strings broke, he would raid my piano. He’d take a pair of pliers and cut out a string.”

“As women gain rights, families flourish, and so do societies. That connection is built on a simple truth: Whenever you include a group that’s been excluded, you benefit everyone. And when you’re working globally to include women and girls, who are half of every population, you’re working to benefit all members of every community. Gender equity lifts everyone.”

MELINDA GATES IS BADASS AND I LOVE HER.

“The last thing any of us will want to do is accept that, sometimes, shift just happens.”
