I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.

If I'm feeling hurt, sad, lonely, depressed, and then I shame myself for feeling that, then that's a black hole for me. I really have worked a lot to meet pain with both gratitude and gentleness.

From the fear and constriction that's sort of always pulling us back and keeping us in old modalities, I feel like any expansive act of kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity, helps tip the scale toward a more conscious, liberated existence for everyone.

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.

'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.

The smallest act has repercussions for the universe.
