My voice is an instrument.

You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.

What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It's what you think of yourself.

I think we have two very important missions in life. One is to find out who we really are and the other one is to taste as much of life and experience as much of life as we can.

The audience will make you feel like a demigod. But when you leave the stage, get back to being human.

I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.

In the last couple of years I've been facing down a lot of the demons of the past and trying to find out, who I am, It's something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life.

I've always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn't changed.

I probably listen to Burn more than any of them, because it was so new me, so novel. To see my name on an actual record was such an incredible feeling.

Someone once asked me, 'How does Jimmy Page strike you?' I replied, 'With both hands, of course...'

I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.

We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own path and we will never be happy if we live someone else's idea of life.

I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning.

I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives, A brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives, Shittin' on rappers, causin' hospital accidents.

When I started writing 'A Million Little Pieces,' I felt like it was the right story with the style I had been looking for, and I just kept going.

Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of shared story.

I've gradually grown more comfortable with who I am and what I am.

Sometimes the Lord brings us low before he can lift us higher.

Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.

It's the best of the best. No film can hope to top it(Kubrick's 2001).

I'm just delighted that this woman I love can be a mum again.
