Girls are taught to sing high and pretty, like Antony, not low and from the guts like Nina Simone. But were slowly trying to change that. There are so many things were not told growing up, and its our true feminist responsibility to take the truth to the people who need to hear it. – Beth Ditto

Ive never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didnt work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine. – Beth Ditto
