I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.

What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?

I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.

I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.

I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.

I hope that there is a very confused 14 year old girl out there who hears me speak or hears me sing and derives some sort of strength from that I heard that when I was 14 that's exactly what happened.

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.
