I think... I'm perceived as an everyperson. There is no pedestal. I'm no different from anybody else.
There are women in every genre having a lot of success. Why not celebrate that?
On becoming a mother, I sort of feel like every kid is my kid. I really do get that sense in a much more profound way that we all are a global community and we all have to band to try and give the children of our this generation whatever tools we can to go out into this world and try and make it a better place.
I've been a fan of old country music, like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline. I think I'm drawn to it because of the sense of sadness and sort of loss that a lot of good old country music has.
I would love to make my music and be completely anonymous, but that doesn't work. You can't have success and be faceless.
My music and my lyrics are essentially emotional postcards.
I've never dieted in my life; I like food too much. I'm just thoughtful about what I eat, and I'm lucky that I love the taste of vegetables. I'm certainly not 'actress skinny,' and I never will be. I'm strong, and my body works great for me.
I have the ability, no matter what's going on in my life, to find something - my cup is always half full.
There's beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that's harder than others.
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence Of existing for only youI know I can't be with youI do what I have to do.
Dear God, Sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears. And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street 'Cause they can't make opinions meet
I thought, 'Well, why don't I get some of the women who I've had open up for me before and some artists that I really admire and respect. Let's ask them to do a few shows.'
I have to sort of get myself back out there and this is sort of out of the frying pan into the fire.
In the lonely light of morning, in a world that would not heal, it's the bitter taste of losing everything that I've held so dear
