I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.

Simple the life, simpler will be your instincts, the laws that govern universe will obey your simplicity.

For the more limited, if adequate, is always preferable.

If I knew where good songs came from, I'd go there more often.

Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?

Evil and faults are corrected by good, by love, kindness, meekness, humility, and patience.

Clavo saca clavo. Nothing sacas nothing, you reply. No one will ever be like her.

On the plane was a Time magazine and there was a 30 page article on diabetes, and I read every page. By the time that plane landed, I had diabetes.

I don't like the intellectual label.

Pleasures may turn a heart to stone, riches may make it callous, but sorrows cannot break it. Hearts live by being wounded.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass The demons, with their subtle guile, Lift up before us when they pass, Or only gaze a little while.
