The pain is always bringing me a lesson. If I listen to the lesson when the pain is manageable, the pain won't get gargantuan and flatten me entirely, because I will have received the message at the center. I receive it as gently as I can, because the cruelest thing that I do to myself is try to push myself through an experience.

I will just think, why am I singing? Then I will know everything I need to know about what I'm feeling.

There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit for it.

You gotta love yourself, because when you're hurting - you never know who's gonna be around to do the lovin' for ya. You gotta love yourself through the pain.

Nothing is all good or all bad, nothing is black or white, everything is just messy and human and difficult.

I miss singing. I did Broadway forever.

I feel it is a blessing, a duty, an honor, that we give the love that we have, and we share the lives that we have with our fullest heart.
