I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.

There is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, 'See, this is new?' it had been already of old time, which was before us.

Change happens, when we replace fear with hope.

A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lillies of the swamp.

I don't regret any of the musical decisions I have made.

There's a man outside with a big black mustache. - Tell him I've got one.

If I was going onstage, of course I would talk about it. How could I not?

The human spirit is nurtured by praise, as much as a seedling is nurtured by the soil, the water and the sun.

Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.

I am fed up. I am fed up with tears and weakness. But there isn't much I can do to stop them.

Young leaves The sound of a waterfall Heard from far and near.
