I've always loved playing solo. I guess in a way I just feel blessed to be able to make music. My favorite thing is usually whatever I'm doing right there and then.

A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life.

Our imagination it is our greatest ally . . . Imagination is a very, very powerful thing. It literally invents the path before you.

The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.

If you don't mark your successes, the day your ship comes in could be just another day at the office, and there's no poetry in that.

Well, everything about singing, I learned from busking. Everything I learned about songwriting, I learned from busking.

I choose to believe that there is good in people and that everything is a lesson. Our place on Earth is to go deeper, to somehow get wiser. To have spirit.

Our imagination just needs space. It's all it needs, that moment where you just sort of stare into the distance where your brain gets to sort of somehow rise up.

I've realized, you know, having turned 40, that rest is just as important as work. In fact, it's equally as important.

Do I create conflicts for myself? Sure I do.

I only ever really take out my guitar when I'm miserable, which isn't necessarily a very good time to do it.

I have a quote for every occasion, then I remembered that I don't have that many occasions.

Give into hope, I say, for fear will only paralyze. It is better to life a life of love amidst the pain than a life of apathy.

My dreams become reality.Your dreams become forgotten.I guess that's why we're different, I don't fit into the crowd.Whereas you're part of the flock.

We breathe our deepest during sleep. When we are in the state of full rest. We are able to be.

I'm so happy and thankful I made it a point be a stay-at-home mom.

There's something so great about being with your nephew and, when you're tired, just handing him off back to your sister.

I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.

I think I prefer for the listener to decide for themselves what stuff means, because I always hate it when I think a song is about a horse, and then it turns out to be about a damn trip to France.

Try and stop your thoughts. Be patient and then the kundalini will flow through you and bring about substantial changes in your awareness.

Genius is simply patience carried to the extreme.
