“Retirement is a misnomer. I'm busier now than I've ever been.”

“I am a woman and I am a mother, and I'm a feminist, and I'm not apologising.”

“I've always been a feminist.”

“I've had a very interesting life. I'm very grateful for it.”

“I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore.”

“If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.”

“I couldn't find any songs that said what I thought being a woman was about. I thought about all these women in my family who had gone through the Depression and two world wars, and they were strong women. I wanted to write a song that said, 'I'm proud to be a woman.'”

“I think my legacy is that I gave a voice to a lot of women.”

“It's a song of pride. 'I Am Woman' is a song of pride for a group of people who have been put down for a very long time.”

“You can't be a feminist and not be a humanist.”

“I came to America with $200 in my pocket and a six-year-old child.”

“I think it is very important to be a proud woman, and a proud feminist.”

“Success is something that has to be managed.”

“I believe that we are all connected, and that we are all one.”

“Music is a universal language.”

“The 70s were a time of turmoil and change, and my music was a reflection of that.”
