A statue stands in a shaded placeAn angel girl with an upturned faceA name is written on a polished rockA broken heart that the world forgot

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearing the burden of a secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero, I am strong and wise, and I know no fear, but the truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me, I see who I want to be, in my daughter's eyes.

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world.

I grew up in the country surrounded by music.

I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.

Baby, I've tried to find a place inside your heart. Oh, but it's hard to start a fire without a spark.

I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty.

Every show, every audience is different, and I just love leaving the venue feeling like we all know each other a little bit better.

I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.

I listen to music I'm looking to record or catch up on news and TV, whatever is on the TV at the gym!

Gratitude turns disappointment into lessons learned, discoveries made, alternatives explored, and new plans set in motion.

Nothing can save you from hate, empty all your treasures and give it to people and one out of the multitudes will curse you, so live your life to please yourself and not others.

Be driven with purpose. Be relentless in your alignment with excellence. Pay no mind to the disimpassioned impotent haters.

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.

The netherworld is timeless and unchanging, and boring -- much like a doctor's waiting room.

The term "trash talk" is such an American thing. I still laugh at it.

There’s always time for babbling.

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for self-defense.

The world under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide. This has been so since antiquity.

I'm looking forward to being old, to be able to accept what I am and become self-sufficient. Mid-forties is a good age and it's not too far away.
