Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.

Everyone has problems, and learning to share them is essential. Hiding pain requires an enormous amount of energy; sharing it is liberating.

So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.

As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.

You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers, I've got loving eyes of my own.

My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything.

One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
