What's great about music is it takes so many kinds of people, including me. Everybody is in a different place.

The show is different every night, because I never write a setlist.
artists benefit break came dawn grassroots happen helped sort
I sort of came out at the dawn of the Internet in the mid-90s and I think it helped break my career. I think I was one of the first artists to really benefit from the grassroots swell that can happen online. I don't know if I would have broken out without it.

I've been writing lullabies since the beginning. I kind of did it for myself to help myself fall asleep when I really worried, like when I was homeless and I'd fall asleep in my car.

I've been performing on stage since I was six years old.

The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.

There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself; you know, have fun, take chances. Those bounds.

I was really intimidated. I was really timid. And so a lot of what Ang did with me was trying to get me grounded and I think that's why he had me do tai chi, just trying to get me settled.

I would love to write more children's books. There is such a high standard out there for children's books; there are really amazing writers. It is a fantastic creative outlet and such an amazing teaching tool. The thing I love about kids, too, is it is so imaginative and poetic.

My character had to be really earthy, really grounded, feminine and strong and confident,
I was raised really poor and so was my husband.

Some of my favorite poets had a tremendous sense of whimsy, so it's a writing style I guess I admire.

My husband and I have kept a good balance between the work and the rest. I feel so lucky having a job, and I know so may people who focus too much on work, and their home lives suffer.

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom, no longer lend your stregth to that which you wish to be free from. Fill your life with love and bravery and you shall live a life oncommon.
