There's a spark in you you've just gotta ignite the light and let it SHINE.

I'd go to the farmers' market in Santa Barbara, and I'd put out my guitar case, and I'd test out these little ditty songs that I would write, and I would get a couple of avocados, a bag of pistachios, and, like, fifteen bucks. That was a lot of money for me.

Now it's clear to me/ that everything you see/ ain't always what it seems.

I think that you should definitely listen to what people say, because everyone says it: High school is not the real world.

Divorce was emotionally traumatic for me. It was the death of a dream. I was in fairytale land, and the reality of it wasn't so. But I don't really like talking about it anymore, because it feels like a thousand lifetimes ago, and also it makes me look desperate, like I need it for attention.

I can't rate myself, but if you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a ten out of ten.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.
