When I'm in pain and grief and despair, my throat is clenched and my heart hurts.

If someone hates or loves something, then right on. I can't rob them of that. I'm not going to try and change their mind. Something's been triggered in them to react so emotionally.

When we [people] are operating from the belief that we're not connected, it feels so dangerous and scary and vulnerable and awful.

Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school.

At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.

When I'm off the road, my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual, and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
