Living life, I mean, my two stepsons, my husband, I think every day - today interaction inspires me - as far as music goes - inspires my art.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

I need honor and love in my life from somebody who's playin' for keeps. What I'm searching for is a man who'll stand by me: who will walk through the fire and be my flame in the night. I won't settle for less than what I deserve: a friend and a lover who'll love me for the rest of my life.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

There comes a time in every life we find the heart we're looking for.

I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard. I believe that someone in that great somewhere hears every word.

I am incredibly emotionally aware and connected with other people. You know, when you come see me live, you can see that different kind of connection and that connection with what I'm saying, and the things I'm singing about. So it really is about just keeping my eyes open.
