A feeling is not bottomless. once felt all the way through,a great peace greets you there
Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.
At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
Let's grease the wheel over tea, let's discuss things in confidence. Let's be outspoken, let's be ridiculous, let's solve the world's problems.
I had just gotten off the road, and I was tired, and I didn't think I'd be of any value to him, ... I said no at first, but then as I kind of rejuvenated, I checked back in with him and he still hadn't cast the role of God. And I said I'd love to do it and I did.
I took a year and a half off after the tour from the last record, and there was a point where I didn't really want to do it again. I didn't want to be in the public eye in general and I didn't want to write another record and have everything that had come along with the one before to happen again.
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
Freedom lies at the heart of my willingness to lose everything
I think the Bible is hugely patriarchal. There are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.
That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.
What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate, someone else to catch this drift.
I think everyone's hungry for the truth
In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
