If you treat me fairly, I'll give you all my goods.

You can be very fulfilled as a mother, but that can't be the only way you are fulfilled. What about being a woman? What about being yourself? Your awareness of what's happening in the world? It lives altogether in a way that makes a whole. I guess I'd say I'm the wholest I've ever been.

If I didn't love it, I would not record it.

I thought I had to be perfect. I would often make choices I thought would make everyone else happy. I lived at a pace that was "good for my career," whether it was good for me or not. I have learned how important it is to check in with myself and listen, really listen.

Even if your family isn't quite there for you, find the people that support you and hang on to those people and try to let go of those that try to take you down.

Only joy comes from song.

Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.
