I want you to know you're in my heart... growing into a beautiful garden.

I used to get stressed out, but my cancer has put everything into perspective.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

I like to go into a little shell and be a hermit and make music for a while.

I'd just love magic. I'd love to be able to just click and transport. I'd be like a fairy little godmother, I think, going round hearing what people wish for and seeing what I could do for them.

I believe the impossible is possible to overcome I believe in miracles Born from love in everyone

Life is a journey I don't have a map for.

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.

I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.

The myth is strong, because the need is strong.

It is a truism that one person who wants something is a hundred times stronger than a hundred who want to be left alone.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

Anyone who is too lazy to master the comparatively small glossary necessary to understand Chaucer deserves to be shut out from the reading of good books forever.

Three can hold their peace, if two be away.

It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.

When I feel something very intensely or deeply or personally, I can go to extremes of self-expression or self-analysis by writing a poem - more than I can just talking to somebody or writing prose.

Even when all the worlds have frozen or exploded, and all the suns gone dead and cold, there'll still be time. Oh, God, what for?

A passion for any novel, and any character, can crystallise your ideas when you really need to be as open as possible as a performer.

Nations don't start out. There is not a particular moment when they unveil the essence of themselves. They are always a work in progress.
