I was just talking to Bono the other day, and he was like, "Are you doing shows?" I've just been off the road for a month-and-a-half, and he was like, "You lucky girl."
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.
When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together.
Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable.
With each new day, I'm learning how to take control in order to have balance in my life. I plan time for myself and my loved ones and take it.
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.
I've seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love, and attention can produce the biggest results.
If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything.
Quiet moments recharge me.
I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.
I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.
When I really need it, talking is the best way to deal with emotional pain.
Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.
