And I kind of said to myself if I get my voice back I'm not going to take back the old anxiety about it and just focus on the limitations. I'm really going to enjoy it.

I was a songwriter; that was the torch I carried. This is an honorable profession. This is what I do.

The new record started out being about loss, but it's morphed into being about how relationships go on even though one person is not in a body anymore.

My record label is treating me like I'm a new artist, which is exciting after all this time.

Just a thank you is a mighty powerful prayer. Says it all.

Sometimes the fragment of a conversation, the color of the sky, the image in a dream, has everything to do with where the song begins.

I have learned to be steady in my course of love, or fear, or loneliness, rather than impulsive in its wasting, either lyrically or emotionally.
