Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.

Songwriting is like a therapy, it's a connection that you have with another person, and I'm not scared of it at all for some reason.

Be happy and comfortable with who you are, whoever it may be.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

I miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

Whenever I'm on tour and I'm in my hotel room and I'm writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I'm writing in there. It's just what I love to do.

Creating music fulfills me. It gives me purpose. It connects me with the world.

The nature of consciousness is to point beyond itself. It is a tending toward or pointing to... Since consciousness points beyond itself, it is in its very being a self-transcendence.

The noble-minded encourage what is beautiful in people and discourage what is ugly in them. Little people do just the opposite.

I am not a genuine woman, but I am not interested in genuineness.

Every reader gets something different from a book and every reader, in a sense, completes it in a different way.

it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl.

I'd been painting rats for three years before someone said 'that's clever it's an anagram of art' and I had to pretend I'd known that all along.

Judicious mothers will always keep in mind that they are the first book read, and the last put aside, in every childs library.

I guess I consider myself at times to have intuition.

If Fox Mulder discovered that Larry Sanders was a clone? I think he would stab him . . . but it wouldn't be with an ice pick.

I wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
