Personal quotes
"Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there's
really nothing to lose. There's no wrong you can't make
right again, so be kinder to yourself, you know, have
fun, take chances. There's no bounds."
"Cynicism
isn't smarter, it's only safer. There's nothing fluffy
about optimism."
"[about
her song "Daddy"] "I was seven years
old and went to a friend's house for dinner. (...) The
father came and turned the TV off and punished the children
because they weren't allowed to watch black people on
TV."
"We
are each others angels in the way that we answer each
others prayers and we can also make each others lives
miserable."
"What
we call human nature in actuality is human habit."
"We
are loved beyond our ability to comprehend."
"In
silence you hear who you are becoming. You create yourself."
"The
things you fear are undefeatable not by their nature
but by your approach."
"People
think I'm some kind of hippie. I don't even recycle."
"I rather
see the world from another angle."
"We
all should choose our friends carefully. I used to think
that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't
see yourself. If you think like that, you surround yourself
with other people who are willing to tell you who you
are, which are usually judgmental people...we should
really surround ourselves with the ones that adore us
and believe in the highest of us."
"Love
bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there's really
nothing to lose."
"I was
thinking that I might fly today. Just to disprove all
the things you say... please be careful with me, I'm
sensitive, and I'd like to stay that way."
"I have
this theory- that if we're told we're bad, then that's
the only ideal we'll ever have."
"Being
part of the natural world reminds me that innocence
isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain
our goodness to regain it."
"I'm
becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's
what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time."
"I'm
having a bad day. I am not size six. My legs are not
skinny as sticks, and dammit, someone's got to pay.
I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself and that my happiness
depends on someone else. I feel weak, so you're gonna
take the fall. You're so small, I feel fat 'cause you're
so small, I don't feel anything."
"If
I could tell the world just one thing it would be we're
all okay, and not to worry cause worry is wasteful and
useless in times like these. I won't be made useless,
only idle with despair give myself around my faith,
lights the darkness most feared. My hands are small
I know but they're not yours they are my own, not yours,
they are my own, and I'll never be broken."
"In
case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see,
this is my heart, bleeding before you, this is me down
on my knees."
"Maybe
I could have loved you better. Maybe you should have
loved me more. Maybe our hearts were just next in line.
Maybe everything breaks sometime."
"You
always feel better when you sing. Music touches people's
hearts. You know, it doesn't go through your mental
capacity, it just moves you and it will let you cry.
It's worth it doing a show and when you touch a crowd
and move yourself at the same time. You change lives
and you change the world."
"I felt
in my life very suffocated and smothered by my circumstance.
Your life becomes what you believe. I was living in
a house with my mom and my younger brother and we were
all sharing rent and wasn't really making rent. Didn't
get to eat, I scraped food off of people's plates where
I waitressed, I stole toilet paper from fast food restaurants...
I got fired from my last job and that was it. My mom
was like we're just going to do what we love, and we're
gonna just have faith. So I lived in my van, and she
lived in her van. And I decided, fine, I'll die, but
I want to go to college. I'll die, I don't want to go
to work and waitress. I want to do what I love only.
I love singing, I never really thought I could make
a living at it, it was dreaming. Zen, Buddha, God, Jesus,
Trees, whatever is out there, what I want is. I want
to make a living doing what I love, you know?"
"You
have to realize: ok, I don't know how to solve a political
problem, I don't know how to solve the pollution problem...
all I know is in my own life, I need to figure out some
sense of purpose, I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing to give up looking at all you and trying
to do everyone else's laundry and look at myself and
what do I need... and that's *profound*. We point so
many fingers and go 'this person isn't... are you blah
blah blah?" If we all just took care of ourselves
it'd be very efficient... all I can do ultimately in
my own life... all I can speak is from my experience."
"In
the tenth grade, I was fascinated with the question
'what was immortality?' I read numerous philosophies,
but the theory which has stayed with me was that of
Plato, the Symposium. The idea that through Love and
Beauty we achieve immortality. Putting all our soul
into our work makes it not only alive with passion and
emotion, but it also exists as one of the truest and
most honest expressions of self. Making life a beautiful
art, the art then retaining life. I still believe Beauty
is one of those most important and difficult things
to create and express."
"I love
life and I love that about people... I adore the human
experience, I really adore the darknesses... I love
the contradictions of people... I don't mind being sexy
and girlish and womanly, and all those things at the
same time... smart and very naive, you know those kinds
of things, I like them about people... I like our rough
edges."
