When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.

I am held by the creator of the world. I am opening, I am unbounded, I am luminous, I am powerful.

I'm happy about the fact that my audience is very open to new music. They're dying for new music. So all I got to do is get up there and show them what I'm doing, and they go oh yeah, I like that.

I had to beat the bags, big time, I had to get out into the den and start screaming and move it through my body.

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

For once in your life, here's your miracle, stand up and fight.

Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
