Everybody is going to love me and this is not being cocky - this is just what I see.

I'm not the type of woman who shows off my body; I'm a vocalist and I'm a writer and I think people see that more so than they see anything else. That's just who I am.

Why do we love love when love seems to hate us?

The person I would trust the most is my mom. She's just really creative... She's a playwright and she's a musician.

When I find myself having that much trouble with a song or a character or a story, I tend to move on.

After you've been away, people's expectations are like, "Well, you better have something to show for it. Tell us why you've been away so long!"

If you hear a good song, it makes you hopeful like, That is out there.

As I'm writing it, I'm kind of curious to see what's going to happen. It almost feels like I'm the writer and I'm the listener, too.

I think a lot of the way that I try to write my stories come from watching my mom write plays and trying to do that.

I'm not great with breathing, like holding notes. I usually don't. A lot of people wouldn't believe it, but I don't focus on technical stuff.

What's kind of weird is that when I'm writing I don't know where I'm going to go.

It's easier to change the game than to change the people playing it.

Recognize how truly blessed you are. Take time to count your blessings and write them down. To make your dreams come true you must already be soaking in the very presence you wish to create.

It's not necessarily about what career you pick. It's about how you do what you do.

I like heist movies. I like action movies that set all the elements into one and a chance to do something that comes from a great stable of writing.

Everything evens up, you just wait, Even a garbage can gets a steak, You ain't even a garbage can, you have faith!

For the infinite glorious Creator of all things, to become a creature, is a mystery exceeding all human understanding.

Lawyers are like beavers: They get in the mainstream and damn it up.

I think music is a selfish masturbatory event - for the listener, the maker, the candlestick...maker.

The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.

Books should cost less and they should be digital.
