Hold your head high heavy heart.

I tend to not try and listen to a lot of other artists while I'm writing, because if I hear something that's brilliant.

I want to play a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is where the New York Knicks play. That's what I want.

I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

I'm a goof. I talk too much. I tell stories. I tell cheesy Dad jokes. I'm theatrical and I'll mix things up and I'll surprise people. Those are the things that I just do because that's who I am.

A true measure of success is just to work hard and get my music out there and just be myself and be real.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.

Johnny Depp and I think Woody Allen would be fun to hang out with.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.

That which you seek, is causing you to seek.

I hate everything that merely instructs me without augmenting or directly invigorating my activity.

Don't cuss. Don't argue with the officials. And don't lose the game.

I quickly learned that motherhood was a high wire act sometimes performed without a net.

I don't have a desire to do reality. Because my truth is not what people are responding to. My truth is funny; I laugh with my husband every day.

If you focus on what you left behind, you'll never be able to see what lies ahead.

Ingratitude is abhorred by God and man.
