In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.
With all the things that you could be, you never could learn how to be me.
Some people train for certain sports and I want to train to be able to hold a super heavy electric guitar and carry luggage around myself because I always have to have 7,000 pairs of shoes. Who cares about sports?
If we all leap before we crawl, we might fall.
I try to get enough sleep and exercise, try not to make mountains out of molehills, and vent a lot. I have a good team to support my work. I also do lots of mundane things, which will center me.
Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy.
The moon shines for you.
I grew up with family who liked to travel and sightsee, so I have this pressure inside me: If I'm in a city and I have enough free time, I'd better go to a museum. I try to see parks, go outside. Or else try to feel really normal like go to Target or a drugstore, or go see a movie.
I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.
They rise in the morning, and they sleep in the dark. And even though nobody's looking, she's falling apart.
You tried to hide between the lines of a story never told.
I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!
I don't have a very routine life; the kids' activities, our nightly routines, and morning routines are about as routine as it gets. In the middle of it all - other than my morning coffee, toast, and trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night - each day is different.
It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.
