I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying And I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.

For the most part, pianos are female to me. Sometimes they're dykes, and they're always good fun.

Women must understand that simply attacking or hating men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power.

Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field.

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.

Some of the most wonderful people are the ones who don't fit into boxes.

We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.

It's emotional blackmail to say if you're a good businesswoman and a musician, you're betraying your music.

People think I'm nuts because I can sit in a room and be happy by myself.

The sense of loss is such a tricky one, because we always feel like our worth is tied up into stuff that we have, not that our worth can grow with things we are willing to lose.

Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me.

The lover drinksand the cup-bearer pours.The lover thinksbut the cup-bearer knows:love begets love.Since this wine is love, then this cup is love, then this tavern is love, then this life is love.

If all shy, soulful young women who dreamed of becoming writers for a living actually could do that, imagine the library we would have.

And then eventually you wake up, fully rested, ready to fly again :)

I am thankful I can see much to admire in all religions.

I don't really watch what I eat. I love sitting around with friends and eating loads and drinking loads for hours. Maybe when I'm 40 I'll worry about my diet.

The sad truth is that most of my husbands turned out to be convincing liars.

My dad always told me that perseverance furthers. He was right.

Young women who I think do the best job of balancing family life and a big career start businesses or work for themselves. That's the best way of being in charge of your life.

The gap in education in this country, the unfairness of the schools, is one of the great unfairness in this society.

My father taught me to be independent and cocky and free thinking, but he could not stand it if I disagreed with him.
