I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.

Be kind to yourself this evening. Buy something for yourself. Treat yourself to a meal. Look in the mirror and give yourself a smile

Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'

It's difficult to explain love. You want to explain water? You need a book for it. There are many different ways to explain what water is. Love is big, it's very big. I know that I have tons of it. But maybe we don't want to open up so much, and we think, maybe we don't have so much, but yes, you know that you have tons of love. We all do. Through that love we can connect, we can heal each other, we can make people, all of us, happy, joyful, and make a better world.

Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.

Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.

My life was pretty rough.
