I'm like a plant, I reach for the sun.

It's very difficult for me to evaluate my own stuff.

That's one of the things I love about being a songwriter first, last and always, because whether I do it or not, if someone does a great job on it, my work is done.

I still believe that everyone is beautiful in some way and by seeing the beauty in others we make ourselves more beautiful.

In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.

It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.

Now my tapestry's unraveling.
