I tried to find a way out in many ways, but it all caught up with me. Once I realised I could sing and write songs, it was just so much easier to do than anything else!

I have a tendency to run after people who are completely unattainable and uninterested and make a complete fool of myself.

I've spent the first part of my life in the shadow of my family. I'm not going to live in the shadow of my husband.

It's better to embrace your roots than it is to fight it, because then you're just fighting something that you're not going to win. We're like a band of gypsies, and it makes sense.

I don't like talking about music.

I always seem to write personal songs; that's always been my go-to thing, to write about what I'm experiencing.

I'm not very prolific. I'm not good at sitting down as an artist and saying 'Okay, I need to put in my four hours today.'

I think my mother was always worried about me when she was alive.

I've learnt to hide my tears on stage. They make people uncomfortable.

You know, people always ask me how I describe my music. First of all I tell them that's their job and then that also one day I hope to have things referred to as Martha Wainwright -esque.

It can often happen that motherhood can really stop a lot of women in their tracks and I wanted to try and keep working through that as much as I could.

God has allowed us to live in this time to do His works on earth.

I know I look good. The regular adjectives that come my way - sexy, hot, dusky, bong bombshell I love them.

Being able to ‘think out of the box’ presupposes you were able to think in it.

Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end.

The creative union of the conscious with the unconscious is what one usually calls 'inspiration.'

After all, all we demanded was a right to twinkle.

Well, it was very interesting to play a character and stretch it over such a long time - 12 episodes. I had never done a TV show before, so week to week it was unclear what we would be asked to do.

I feel like people who actually know how music works on a technical level need to explain it to the rest of us a little more often.

We shape our God, and then our God shapes us.

There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.
