More quotes by Jewel
I've had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that's just what I've always liked - people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance.
Jewel
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.
Jewel
Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.
Jewel
I wanted to be an honest writer and show my ugliness as much as I showed my hopes or goodness. And that really sculpted the type of artist I've become.
Jewel
Only kindness matters. We are God's hands.
Jewel
I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
Jewel
Self love is a great recurring theme, the headwaters that feed my ability to be the best version of myself in every other aspect of my life. Self worth sets the standard that life meets.
Jewel
Without a band, I'm much more free to improvise.
Jewel
Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.
Jewel
Nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend.

Hard times make you bitter or make you more compassionate.
Jewel
I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.
Jewel
If I could tell the world just one thing, it would be that we are all ok. And not to worry because worry is wasteful and useless in times like these.
Jewel
I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.
Jewel
I get bored very easily. I have a voracious appetite and I do not feel alive if I'm repeating something I'm good at. So I'm always looking for new challenges.
Jewel
I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.
Jewel
I love to be alone with life. I love to study simple things: the light as it filters in a window the music of a room full of people chatting a horizon.
Jewel
My whole goal is to keep my spirit intact. If that doesn't happen, none of this is worth it.
Jewel
Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous there's really nothing to lose.
Jewel
Your life becomes what you believe.
