We talk about defining moments, but I think nothing can define you. They're all refining moments. You're constantly refining yourself and refining your life.
I pride myself on finding balance. I love making music and I love raising my boys - I find time to make both a priority.
We used to sing along to Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald records together. She had the most amazing voice ... She's always encouraged me, and she's still that person who, when things look dire, lifts me up and reminds me of who I am and that we all have a capacity for greatness.
Being an older mom, I'm super mellow with my kids. Also, "curious" and "loving."
The younger generation of performers really enjoy their success. Its like they know their moment is here right now and probably won't be here in a few years.
When I reach the point that I write Yesterday, then I can retire.
I've only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it's not very long!
It was a challenge in more than one way. Not only was I not working, I was in a foreign country where I didn't speak the language, and I'm with somebody who's new to me, and I experienced a lot of vulnerability ... (it) was a challenge to my ego, and in the end, was kind of exciting.
There's so much of it you can't control. There is no handbook for how to conduct yourself in the public world.
Perhaps I have been out of the races for awhile but I have not missed many days off the bike, in the gym, on the trails, etc. I'd go nuts if that were to happen.
Everything that happens to you influences your writing,
Being around children that small, you see how naturally they gravitate to the light. They're not cynical yet. It takes many years to unlearn that kind of innocence.
I encourage all women everywhere to advocate for themselves and for their future - see your doctor and be proactive about your health.
I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. We are a testament to the importance of early detection and new treatments ... I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends.
