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.

I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.

I count myself really fortunate that I have some lifelong friends. The best thing about a friend is when you are being your own worst enemy a friend can help snap you out of it.

The people I've been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity.

There is not a formula for the way that God heals. There's not a timetable.

To me, the human experience does involve a great deal of anguish. It's joyful, but it's bittersweet. I just think that's life.

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die.
