I will find a way to you if it kills me if it kills me if it kills me (I think it might kill me).
I'm a lover, not a fighter. No battles for me.
I discovered at 18 that singing and songwriting was my strength. I decided that it was closest to my heart and if I pursued it then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
Playing live is a lot of fun. You get one shot, ... But at the end of the day, it's all rock 'n' roll.
I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.
My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it.
When hands are joined, no one can point fingers.
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from.
So often the woman forgets her own greatness and she goes a little bat sh-- crazy sometimes. So its up to the other half to love that person back into the person we know them to be.
I use music and mantras that transform my thoughts from the negative to the positive. If I'm thinking the world is a horrible place, I can transform my life by saying, 'I won't give up', 'I won't worry my life away' and 'I won't hesitate no more', using these lyrics to change my experience. That is, I believe, what makes me seem like a positive person.
There's no shame in being crazy...
I do feel most at home playing live, but the feeling of getting into the studio to see the new songs take shape was really incredible.
I struggle with how humankind ended up this way. We made ourselves slaves to money, and we all have to work and be a part of this thing when time is always ticking. And before we know it, a decade has gone by, and did I really get to do everything I wanted to do or say everything I wanted to say?
I'm not always a positive person. I wake up grumpy, I read the newspaper and I get furious that the world is still at war.
