real truthful feels
I like my lyrics to feel conversational and truthful, as if we're having real talk. I don't really like generic lyrics.
talking people interviews
There are very few interviews I turn down, because I really dig talking to people and hanging out.
eagles faces groups
The Eagles, let's face it, they were a pretty cool group, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie. I had this really eclectic background in music.
thinking bigs industry
Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.
thinking grace together
The Graces was a great experience; it's great working with women, but we weren't put together in an organic way, and I think that's why we didn't stay together. There wasn't that natural friendship.
taken people challenges
I've come up against a few challenges. I've just taken them on with a really pure energy. I'm not out to change people's minds. I'm out to maybe educate and inspire.
country writing artist
I've also been writing for other artists, producing other artists, doing some country stuff. Those lyrics I tend to leave more universal.
believe mind humanist
I'm a humanist. I'm an observer. I have a very scientific mind. I believe metaphysics and science absolutely blended are more the truth for me. It doesn't work just believing in what somebody says.
crow adults modern
I would hope that wherever Sheryl Crow, Paula Cole, and Fiona get played is where I'd be played. And right now that seems to be the modern Adult Contemporary market.
europe australia world
I want to embrace all of this: touring, going to Europe, Canada, Australia. I want to travel the world, just have a great hang, and hopefully, be a messenger.
jagger capitol
I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.
home guitar use
I quickly learned to take anger and use it to motivate me. My sister ran away from home, and she was my world. And that was that. The guitar became my world.
thinking alcohol healthy
I think if you're doing alcohol and drugs, the chances of you surviving this kind of a pace are next to nothing. I live an extremely healthy life.
jobs thinking people
I think people are basically unhappy working their jobs, and we all need to have that thing that gets our juices flowing.
