But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well

Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.

Most everything means nothing, except some things that mean everything.

You must always know how long to stay; and when to go.

I think there are times when a song can be a spiritual experience - just making music, in general, is pretty much that.

Most people like the sad songs. Some of the oldest songs known to man are sad. Listening to a voice singing something sad is a really great way to help you to feel sad when you need to.

I grew up as a Catholic, and there was so much that was beautiful there, and also so much that was troubling. The whole patriarchal thing, the whole male-dominated approach, really bothered me.

It's occurred to me I need to laugh at myself more and that I don't need to be some sad folk singer all the time. I don't want to be the queen of pain.

I think listeners are hungry to hear quality.

I don't necessarily buy any key to the future of happiness, but I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.

Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song.

The concept of maximum promotion of human rights to the expense of the majority of people in fact undermines the entire concept of the human community.

When I look at the future it's so bright it burns my eyes.

Earth's blackest day and earth's brightest day are only three days apart.

Ninety-nine percent of all surprises in business are negative.

As governor, Im spending my time focused in three areas: creating jobs, reducing the expense of government and schools.

My mother was very agnostic. She would never set foot in the synagogue, she couldn't be doing with it.

That's the evergreen nature of a great song. They can be resurrected. They can be covered. They can find new relevance due to changing circumstances in history.

I can remember when Pulp Fiction came out. I was, like, 10 years old. But I remember the impact that it had.

I find great satisfaction in the rigorous structure of the grid, but I like the organic on the grid so that there's a combination of structure and chaos.

I don't like my thighs, the back of my legs or my chubby knees. I wear clothes that show off my legs in pictures and videos but not often when I'm appearing live.
