An artist wears his work in place of wounds.

It was like being at an Arabian hoedown with a band of psychedelic hillbillies (p. 171).

My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We're all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it.

I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.

The idea of redemption is always good news, even if it means sacrifice or some difficult times.

I'm estranged from social media and I don't really deal with it. I tried to work on a website and it took up all my time. People wanted me to have a Twitter account and I spent the whole day figuring out what would be the first message. I still haven't wrapped my head around it.

Everyone thinks of God as a man - you can't help it - Santa Claus was a man, therefore God has to be a man.
