I was feeling single, seeing double, wound up in a whole lotta trouble.

I'm so grateful that I'm able to do something about this passion that I have for shelter animals. In a strange way, it completes me. It means so much to me and makes me feel like I'm truly making a difference.

It takes a certain amount of courage to let the field lie fallow until you have something to say.

I'm just too busy living every day to really spend a lot of time thinking 'am I old?' I'm this age. I am in this moment and in this life.

A good song deals with the human condition, and the truth of the human condition.

You have to grow up, start paying the rent and have your heart broken before you understand country.

Patriotism can be good or bad. Knee-jerk patriotism can be very bad. I'm patriotic almost to the point of self-consciousness, but I love my country the way I love a friend or a child who I would correct if she was going the wrong way. Who I expect the very best from.
