people world want
It was the case in the 70s and 80s that people believed music could change the world. But now people aren't making music because they want to change the world; they're making music because they want to just make a ton of money.
song writing people
What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.
artist people creative
I don't agree with this romantic fantasy that people who suffer from depression are more likely to be artists. I find that I am more creative when I am happy actually.
thinking people brave
I think people think they're not brave if they're frightened, and that's not true at all.
self-esteem thinking people
I think people who come from abuse and/or people who have mental illnesses, have terrible self-esteem problems.
giving people musician
What I like about being a musician is that I find the thing soothing, but I also give the soothing to other people;
reality men people
Look at all our old men in pubs. Look at all our young people on drugs.
wedding people complaining
People always complain, 'you never invited me to your wedding', but I prefer casual weddings.
suicidal people feelings
People who express suicidal feelings are least likely to act on them.
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.
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.
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.
