country animal meat
I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.
animal vegetarianism pet
We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner?'
people musical taste
We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
thinking self youth
When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.
art thinking emotion
I think that the older I get and the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I realize that art is about relinquishing control of your emotions and being vulnerable and innocent.
country art nashville
Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn't. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm's length. The people in Nashville didn't want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.
thinking doors choices
I think I was a singer before I came out of the womb. I also think that the way you live your life, and the choices you make parallel what doors open up for you.
fall home thinking
I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I'm too something. I'm too this, I'm too that. And my music has never really had a home. I've been this floating alternative. I'm too mainstream for alternative. I'm too alternative for mainstream. And I'm just kind of wandering.
art judgement looks
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn't really have judgement in it's purest form. So just go, just go.
song heartache bliss
Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness, so is absolute bliss.
fall past bars
I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.
kids piano listening
I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.
knowing world life-is
Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.
stars rocks typical
I feel like at 50 I've decided to become a rock star, which is, you know, typical of me. I always seem to work backwards.
