For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.

I try to give myself permission to be a work-in-progress and not have everything figured out at once. It's more manageable and takes some of the pressure off of feeling like I have to have everything right all the time.

It's important to cultivate a tolerance and patience with uncomfortable feelings. It's best to feel them.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

I’m somebody who, as a child, had a lot of insecurity about stable housing, where I was going to be living, if I was going to have a roof over my head, all those types of things. And I know the impact it can have on you psychologically and emotionally.

I love to be alone with life. I love to study simple things: the light as it filters in a window; the music of a room full of people chatting; a horizon.

Lots of people have gone from public housing to do great things in the world and have a tremendous sense of duty to their fellow man because of it.
