When you get . . . to the end, you see that love and family are all there is. Nothing else matters.

I am such a Pacific Northwest girl.

Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs.

Maybe time didn't heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.

And no one drank just one shot of tequila.

And maybe that was how it was supposed to be...Joy and sadness were part of the package; the trick, perhaps,was to let yourself feel all of it, but to hold on to the joy just a little more tightly.

A daughter without her mother is a woman broken. It is a loss that turns to arthritis and settles deep into her bones.

Memories are who we are. In the end, that's all the luggage you take with you. Love and Memories are what last.

That was what a best friend did: hold up a mirror and show you your heart.

What I know now about life is this: your mother is a part of everything you do and everything you are.

From the first time we met, we knew everything that mattered about each other, didn't we? We just knew. I guess that's what best friends are: parts of each other.

Don't let procrastination take over your life. Be brave and take risks. Your life is happening right now.

We search for happiness across every landscape, if only we knew that the seed in which it first grows, is planted within ourselves...

I was the walrus, but now I am John...and so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.

Failure is the new success.

The books are the books, and a lot of the stuff is some version of your id or your ego.

How you get work done is by exploiting yourself and your feelings, and sometimes people get in the way.

I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.

I've no grand designs to conquer the music industry, but I'd love to be able to tell my mates that I'm playing in a pub in Camden one night.

Got to fight to control the violent side, every day and night.

If you work hard and you play well, all those critics quiet themselves pretty quickly.
