artist people female
The music business is a place where the artists are all treated like we're working for the people who are working for us. That can obviously be exaggerated when you're a female.
feel-better people weight
I only feel better because people aren't being so abusive to me about my weight.
memories character fire
I'm on fire when I'm singing, I'm completely in character, I use my sense memories, and every syllable of it is meant. It's a very special thing.
microphones
Nobody gets between me and my microphone.
giving done reason
I know that I have done many things to give you reason not to listen to me
purpose realizing hard
It's so hard to retain what your purpose is - or to even realize what it is.
mother design want
I h a v e a l l t h a t I r e q u e s t e d and I do not want what I haven`t got. I have learned this from my mother ; see how happy she has made me. I will take this road much further though I know not where it takes me.
writing past want
There's nothing in the recent past I want to write about.
long house church
As long as the house of The Holy Spirit remains a haven for criminals the reputation of the church will remain in ruins.
thinking hands people
I find that as a female boss in the music industry, it's difficult to actually be treated as if you actually are the boss and to have people act on your instructions and take you seriously. Like you call up people who are working for you and say, "I'd like to see such-and-such document," and they tell you that you don't need it. Then you have to spend time convincing them that it doesn't matter whether they think you need it or not, they're supposed to hand it to you.
jobs writing danger
I suppose the danger when you have a job that involves writing is you can be a bit isolated.
song simple simplicity
There's a standard of songwriting that, when you start immersing yourself in those types of songs, it raises your own bar as a songwriter. There's also simplicity in the songwriting. It's much harder to be simple than it is to be complicated.
running believe people
You can't have a church run by people who don't believe in God.
people singers songwriters
People often talk about me as a singer, but they don't often talk about you when you're a woman as a songwriter.
