I'm accepting I'm not living that younger, dreamed version of myself in the big city.

I think of my shows as family reunions. I give 100% every time. I just do. It's a huge therapeutic release. Also I love my touring family. And I love my audiences very much.

The monsters are in your own head

The older I get, the more I see that there really aren't huge zeniths of happiness or a huge abyss of darkness as much as there used to be. I tend to walk a middle ground

Thank God I have music to vent my emotions. I'd be in a prison if I didn't.

I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.

The flower has opened, has been in the sun and is unafraid. I'm taking more chances; I'm bold and proud.
