The truly incredible thing is were realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time.

I believe that there is a certain amount of mysticism that all women should have, that you should never tell all your secrets, that you should never tell everybody all about you.

I'm going to spend my life writing poems, turning them into music that will affect people and touch their hearts. I'm going to write the songs that people can't write for themselves.

I do not walk away in the face of adversity and never have.
