I thought, 'Well, why don't I get some of the women who I've had open up for me before and some artists that I really admire and respect. Let's ask them to do a few shows.'
Why are there so many songs about ravens, and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions. Rainbows have nothing to hide
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.
Don't let your life pass you by, weep not for the memories.
Yet we have a great opportunity and great platform to talk about a lot of issues that are important to me and a lot of us as women and human beings.
Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.

On becoming a mother, I sort of feel like every kid is my kid. I really do get that sense in a much more profound way that we all are a global community and we all have to band to try and give the children of our this generation whatever tools we can to go out into this world and try and make it a better place.
I've been a fan of old country music, like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline. I think I'm drawn to it because of the sense of sadness and sort of loss that a lot of good old country music has.
I would love to make my music and be completely anonymous, but that doesn't work. You can't have success and be faceless.
My music and my lyrics are essentially emotional postcards.
I have the ability, no matter what's going on in my life, to find something - my cup is always half full.
There's beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that's harder than others.
I'm not online. I'm not on Facebook much. I don't connect that way.
