во время своего концерта в Москве 6 августа 2012 г.
I'm very grateful and I'm very lucky because I come from a country -- America -- where we are free to express ourselves, to express our point of view. Yes. As an artist and as a human being, as a woman, I have the freedom to express my point of view even if other people don't agree with me. Even if my goverment doesn't agree with me. I have the right to express my point of view. I have the freedom to express my point of view. This is democracy. And I do not take that for granted either. I just want to say a few words about Pussy Riot. I am blessed to be from a country where I have the right to express my opinion. OK? But my dream and my prayer is that everyone in the world has this right -- not only here in Russia but in France, in Iran, everywhere in the world. As human beings, we should have the right to express our opinions and still be treated as human beings. I know there are many sides to every story and I mean no disrespect to the church or the government. But I think that these three girls -- Masha, Katya, Nadia -- I think that they have done something courageous. I think they have paid the price for this act and I pray for their freedom.
