More quotes by Jewel
I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'
Jewel
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from.
Jewel
Your life becomes what you believe.
Jewel
I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
Jewel
I have a life that I enjoy I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know, it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.
Jewel
My life has been full of struggles - coming from a troubled home, moving out when I was fifteen, ending up homeless by eighteen. The one thing I always knew was being jaded and bitter was equal to letting life win.
Jewel
Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.
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
So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents.
Jewel
I don't feel like I've changed as much as radio formats have changed.
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
I say to myself, sometimes the tide is just out. But it always comes back in again.
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
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 shallow.
Jewel
Self worth sets the standard that life meets.
Jewel
It's been too many nights of being with to now be suddenly without.
Jewel
I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.
Jewel
A good love is delicious, you can't get enough too soon.
Jewel
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
Jewel
I find you get out of people what you put into them.
