I feel really blessed to first of all have the opportunity to do music, and second of all to have it be going well.

It always amazes me when I see young people with raw talent and passion.

What I've noticed about celebrities is, if they are really successful, they're more down-to-earth.

A lot of the music I listen to is indie rock. It's not on the radio.

You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.

I always have plans to return to the stage. I leave myself very open. I think what would be more likely is if I did a limited run of something, whether it be a play or a musical.

I am trying so hard to live in the moment and enjoy it while it's happening, because it feels like a moving freight train that I just got on, and I'm trying not to look back and get dizzy!

I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music.

What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was Hee Haw, was 360 degrees of entertainment.

Around 14, I was turned on to Shania, Reba, Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood... and I've followed it ever since.

I feel connected to a higher power when I'm making music or performing. There's a spiritual experience for me.

Surviving is a necessity. Living is an art.

You've earned the right to grow. You're going to have to carry the water yourself.

A home is more than just where you live it reflects who you are.

As science went further and further into the external world, they ended up inside the atom where to their surprise they saw consciousness staring them in the face!

I have this obsession with the '80s because I missed all of it.

My cancer continues to make for all kind of hilarity.

No matter how intelligent a man is, he can't see what he doesn't know how to see.

We divide ourselves up into spirit and human, but essentially we are all a part of the same world.

Never durst poet touch a pen to write Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs.

One Cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland
