There is no single voice in fandom; there is a multitude of voices, so you listen to them all because there are some good ideas coming from everywhere, but at the end of the day, we have to use our own instincts as a guide.

What’s happened in my career has been about knowing myself and realizing my flaws are my strengths, and to embrace them; to access what I’m really good at, and what I’m not so good at; and tune out the voices that get inside your head and make you think you can’t do something.

I was really ambitious, so I was innovative. I was one of the first DJs to do live calls, ’cause I found this phone device that would pick up other people’s voices.
The women like us because we’re the first real women rappers, and the men like us because we’re strong. We’re not some soft little rappers with soft little voices. The men who see us end up going, ‘Hey! They’re kickin’ it!’
Silicon Valley today is populated mostly by people who would consider themselves winners of the traditional race. This causes the exclusion of the voices that are vital to a round, robust society. It’s beyond gentrification.

My goal is to show young women and girls that our voices and ideas matter, and you are never too young to dream big!
Without networks like the Black Immigration Network, organizations like Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees would not get the support and resources and amplification that their voices that they need and deserve.
I’ve liked country music for as long as I can remember, especially the songs of Dolly Parton. Her lyrics are similar to mine: simple, expressive, from the heart. Our voices are in the same kind of register, too.

In the theater, characters have to cut the umbilical cord from the writer and talk in their own voices.

The absence of diverse voices leads to policies and programs that adversely impact African-Americans.
It’s writing songs within the structure of telling a story, so it becomes a platform for diverse songwriting, for a writing process that’s broader than just figuring out a song.

Filmgoers are starved for new ideas, voices and visions.
I’ve been around many different lives, many different voices. It was amazing material for a writer.

I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices – I think that’s something important is having.
Horns always influenced me more than voices.
With any success, a lot of voices come out, and you start hearing a lot more opinions on the matter. We’ve provoked very strong reactions in both directions since day one.

There’s been an open attack by the U.S. government, an immoral attack, to try and prevent Venezuela from being freely elected to a post in the Security Council. The imperium is afraid of truth, is afraid of independent voices. It calls us extremists, but they are the extremists.
