More quotes by Jewel
Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.
Jewel
I have hundreds and hundreds of songs waiting to get on albums, but I don't know about the three-month radio tours and if I'll be interested in that. I haven't figured it out, but I will definitely be doing music, whether it is independent or with a major record label.

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
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
It's been too many nights of being with to now be suddenly without.
Jewel
We are loved beyond our ability to comprehend.
Jewel
I have a two-year-old boy. Being his mom feels like I have a present I get to spend the rest of my life opening.
Jewel
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
Jewel
Everything is temporary if you give it enough time.

Only kindness matters. We are God's hands.
