We plan to have three years and try not to repeat artists in the same marketplaces. I have a hard time thinking of what's going be going on next week, much less two years from now. We're going to sit down after '99 and reassess things, probably take a year off.
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 have the ability, no matter what's going on in my life, to find something - my cup is always half full.
My music and my lyrics are essentially emotional postcards.
I would love to make my music and be completely anonymous, but that doesn't work. You can't have success and be faceless.
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.
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.
There are women in every genre having a lot of success. Why not celebrate that?
We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.
I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.
I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didnt.
Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.
We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
