Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.

I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.

In the past, when I'd recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn't getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing.

You do your best, you do all this stuff, but the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country.
