I think I was a singer before I came out of the womb. I also think that the way you live your life, and the choices you make parallel what doors open up for you.

I just try to speak passionately about things I'm involved in and moved by.

Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn't. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm's length. The people in Nashville didn't want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.

I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.

Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.

"Spirituality comes from questioning everything but at the same time accepting everything. You can even be spiritual watching TV. When the ad comes on and says, "Don't hate me because I am beautiful," question that."

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.
