What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.

Be exceptional. Make tremendous efforts to be extraordinary. What a privilege to be here on the planet to contribute your unique donation to humankind. Just make sure you do so.

It is so killer to collaborate with someone who gets what you're trying to say.

I can't stand too long of a record.

I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.

It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
