I was at a meeting two years ago in Beijing, and I passed a bunch of women who were marching in a protest. Their signs were probably saying something I wouldn't have agreed with at all. But I was so glad to see women marching. And it's happening all over the world. ↗

As a person, I'm not that hopeful, but somehow the hopeful part of me reveals itself through my songs. ↗
