songs
My songs are always four years ahead of me. They're like my teachers.
played somebody time
I remember the first time somebody played me Janis Joplin. My friend Donna put on Janis Joplin, and she said, 'You're like her.' At the time, I wasn't even a singer; I was a drummer. I just wanted to play the drums.
good
I live each day full of gratitude, and that's good for my children.
I have to have another child. I have to bring someone into this world that will be here for Dashiell.
lead lovely
I'm not the kind that could lead the millionaire lifestyle. I've got a truck, and I've got my bike. I've got a lovely Labrador and two kitty-cats. I live very modestly.
children parents producing pushing quick success wanting
By pushing children and wanting quick success, parents are producing followers, not leaders.
absolutely nervous time wants wonderful
I can be completely spontaneous, which is absolutely wonderful. I don't like it at the same time; no one wants to be nervous all the time, but that nervousness mixes with the excitement I feel on the stage, and it makes for a wonderful performance.
dreams great love
I don't want to date. But I do have dreams about a great love.
love running
I'm not running around looking for love and validation.
against beaches commitment critical defense effective gulf incredible invaluable knowledge line oil waters
The Gulf Waterkeepers are our first line of defense against the BP oil disaster. Their incredible knowledge of the marshes, wetlands, beaches and inner-coastal waters make them invaluable first responders. Their commitment makes them critical and effective community leaders.
good
I'm actually always looking for the good news.
journey thinking things-in-life
The Beatles defined their own sense of values and honor. They took stances without ever being politically correct. And they did it all with incredible humor... I honestly think that there are certain things in life that help people understand themselves. I think the Beatles are one of those things. They resonate the journey of true selfhood, really.
romantic sleep sky
As I lay me down to sleep, this I pray. That you will hold me, dear. Though I'm far away, I whisper your name into the sky. And I will wake up happy.
honesty love-you darling
If it's the truth you seek, then darling love you'll find.
