At some point I was hanging around with the Butchies - a band I ended up playing with a lot - and it just brought out this thing in me... and it felt very different from the Indigo Girls.

I grew up in the South and once you get raised on Jesus, it is kind of always a part of you even if you are a pagan, really.

It's all right if things don't change today. We're gonna keep doing what we do. The world can either catch up or not.

I think the musicians I play with solo do a certain thing that the musicians we play with with the Indigo Girls don't do. It's just a different thing. And it sort of steers my writing in some ways.

Music is such a good way to resist. It keep you strong, it has dignity.

Your hatred is rooted in your fear, and your paranoia and insecurities, well they don't belong here.

When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.

I mean, I really, really love playing solo. Definitely, it's like a labor of love, it's not a huge career. It's not that successful, but it's something I love so much that I'll do it regardless.

I love my animal allies and am grateful for their support. I accept it.

My recurring desire for you has brought me to a point, where, the life I always imagine I shall have with you, seems like a distant memory.

Our weakness is an invitation to discover God's strength.

Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand.

I have wanted to write from a young age, but working with so many gifted authors and editors over the years has taught me so much. I doubt I would be where I am today without that amazing experience.

So often we look at a calendar of days as merely a symbol of the passage of time. We forget why we are on this earth. We forget that there is a reason for all the pain and the struggle.

Filmmaking is the ultimate team sport.

The more people there are, the more food we need, the more space we occupy, the more resources and consumer goods we wish to have and the more development has to take place

Are you spontaneously enthusiastic about everyone having everything you can have?

Well might the ancients make silence a god; for it is the element of all godhood, infinitude, or transcendental greatness,--at once the source and the ocean wherein all such begins and ends.
