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.

Sometimes my boyfriend would write the lyrics and I would write the melody, and other times I would start from scratch. Or sometimes I would take a local poem and put that to music...I always sang standards because the songs I wrote for myself weren't as easy to sing.

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

You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.

I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.

I haven't got time for the pain.

So I suppose this slightly mature fashion sense happened because of what I had.
