I believe we've been given free will, and we can take responsibility for our own lives and for creating our own environments - which I think at times can be a little much for people to deal with.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is.

There is consequence of our forgetting who we are. Forgetting that we're able to create our environment, from our health to economy to war. Something can be done about everything we perceive as bad, if we so choose. If we are aware of the concept of compassion.

I think it's irresponsible when celebrities imply they're doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He's really full-on. I couldn't do it any other way.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

Your choice of armor was your intellect.
