pain emotional people
I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.
pain self allies
You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
pain mean heart
To shut down the ability to feel pain means you shut down all emotions, joy included. It makes our hearts feel small, it robs us of our joy, and really keeps us no safer.
pain regret real
If you love somebody; You better let it out; Don't hold it back; While you're trying to figure it out; Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know; Is the sorrow of regret; When you don't let your feelings show. So, did you say it, Did you mean it?
time pain soul
I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
american-musician everybody great including music takes
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.
asleep car fall homeless since
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.
american-musician since
I've been performing on stage since I was six years old.
american-musician respect writers
The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.
kinder
There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself; you know, have fun, take chances. Those bounds.
grounded trying
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.
amazing creative fantastic high love outlet standard teaching
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.
