I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.

I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.

The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.

I started making music because I could.

Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.

What makes me feel alive is community, connectedness. Certainly family, parenting, relationships, friendship. All the way into colleague relationships and relationship with spirit, relationship with one's own self and inner child, and animals, earth, planet. Fostering and nurturing and really focusing on connection - connection in relationship with other and my own self and God. When I don't feel connected in all those three areas, life is not very good.

When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.
