I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

Things always work out if you don't send that e-mail. That's another great life lesson: I've sent enough e-mails of just "f - k you, f - k you, f - k you" and hit send. I've learned a lot from never being able to take back that I sent that e-mail.

Life will always change, and I'm always thinking about how to have a good-enough attitude to roll with the changes of life, of an ever-changing landscape.

Nothing is for sure. Change is the only thing that is the absolute.

Talking about adversity that I've walked through in my own life or hearing an artist talk about their own adversity makes me feel vulnerable.

Walking my dogs, playing with my kids - all of that is really good stuff to keep me centered.

How do I not get so wrapped up in what I think needs to happen? Going with the flow is the way to do it.
