Quote

When I look around I think this, this is good enough And I laugh at whatever life brings because when I look down, I just miss all the good stuff and when I look up, I just trip over things.

Having more exposure is kind of a bittersweet thing for me, honestly, because it's nice to have a little more job security in life now.

Life is a sleazy stranger, who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar.

I really have been enjoying performing more lately than I have in a long time and you know, it's all about that sort of centered feeling that I have now. You know, thanks to, not just my kid, but her father before her. You know, I have a kind of a grounding through them that I really relish, and I think is also good for my work, you know.

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'

I think the gay community should get smart and drop the word marriage. Do you really need to change every right-wing Christian to make sure you get your equal rights? Eyes on the prize, we should be sticking to getting equal rights.

I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all.

One thing I do find in the lost generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.

...words are some of the most powerful and important things I know....Language is the tool of love and the weapon of hatred. It's the bright red warning flag of danger--and the stone foundation of diplomacy and peace.

It can be very frustrating and very deflating to be constantly defined and described by other people, so I've stopped reading anything written about me, and I find it much healthier. I just sort of concentrate on what I do and don't worry too much about that.

Someday you're going to get hungry and eat most of the words you just said.

To split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do

I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.

Image
I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.

Image
There isn't much I have to say, that I wouldn't rather just shut up and do.

Being a parent has taught me a lot of things already, you know, though it's only been a year and half, and has made me address parts of myself that I would otherwise live in comfortable denial of, or you know and - you know, for instance, my self-loathing.

A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

People talk about my image like I come in two dimensions, like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind, like what I happen to be wearing the day that someone takes my picture is my new statement for all womankind.
