My two great loves are music and horses.

Feminism - the word - can give us a handle, a rallying point, a common ground, and help us build a bridge. Why not claim the gift of the word as a place to begin?

There's a lot of maintenance that goes into being a professional singer.

The word, and the concept of feminism, was a gift because it gave me a sense of identity and a way of defining how I wished to live my life.

I was hugely relieved to discover there was a purpose for girls with loud voices.

I love Mary Chapin Carpenter songs. I love her songs 'Come On, Come On' and 'I Am A Town', they're two of my favorite songs.

Everything good that I know was taught to me by great teachers and I feel like giving back and sharing the technique is the thing to do.

Good performance is about the capacity to focus and concentrate.

When there's an opportunity to do more, we must.

It's just a little ranch. Thirty-five acres. In Texas, if it's not a thousand acres, it's considered a ranchette.

The pure connecting factor is that those of us who describe ourselves as feminists want equal rights for all people.

Don’t try, be happy.

There are two kinds of people. There are those who love you and make your life beautiful. There are those that hurt you and the pain encourages you to be wonderful.

When you are silent on the truth, you have given a transport fare for the lie to travel and spread fast.

The most customer-centric organizations can answer any question by deciding what's best for the customer, without ever having to ask.

I love to sing! To be in a movie with musical number is the coolest thing ever!

In writing songs, I've learned as much from Cezanne as I have from Woody Guthrie.

Minimization is what happens when we take the "world is flat" idea too far...and act as if people everywhere are the same (and thereby minimizing the differences).

Corporate polluters, their phony think tanks and political toadies like to marginalize environmentalists as tree huggers, or radicals. But there is nothing radical about clean air or water.

A blaze first pleases and then tires the sight.

I always read everything on the desks of people I went to see in Moscow, London, Paris I found it quite useful.
