I feel like in every song I write, I always write a little darker bit.

It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.

I am a fan of the true crime and horror genres! So, I've got a dark side too.

I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

You can't always be like 'sunshine and roses'. I like a little bit of darkness.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

When I say “when you’re always almost lonely, you forget to take it slowly,” I mean that you don’t always take care of yourself.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

God is in control. He may not take away trials or make detours for us, but He strengthens us through them.

For irrelevancy to be cancelled in the church, let kingdom priority and pursuit be restored

no life of faith can be lived privately. There must be an overflow into the lives of others.

My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.

People hold an image of you and project that image when they feel you are changing. Disappear for a while. Break up your routines.

I'm not what you call your basic intellectual.

I can't conceive of caring more about my president than my own partner.

Speech may be silver but silence is golden. Traders with the golden touch do not talk about their success.

Why follow the steps of another to find out where our dreams will lead us.

I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
