Now that I'm in my 40s, it's much easier to be an artist. It's good knowing that I'm not in the game to be competing with really young groups of kids on the radio. Or to, you know, make 'beat' music.

The only person who can save you is you: That going to be the thing that informed the rest of my life.

One of the greatest ways to stay young is to have little kids.

One of the things that has changed my life - and this comes from someone who was highly self-critical and a type-A personality - is meditating. The simple act of making my brain shut off for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night may not seem like much, but what ends up happening, besides creating space in your day, is your awake posture begins to replicate your meditative posture.

Life's so full that you just take it one day at a time.

No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere.

If you want to turn on your boyfriend, get naked and strap on an accordion.
