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.

More quotes by Jewel
Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't. So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.
Jewel
We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own I am never broken In the end only kindness matters In the end only kindness matters
Jewel
Your life becomes what you believe.
Jewel
Only kindness matters. We are God's hands.
Jewel
Reality is what you believe it to be. It's what you put your thought and energy into, because your hands physically manifest thought. So your world becomes what you feel and what you think.
Jewel
In the end only kindness matters.
Jewel
Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
Jewel
We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say: We are that to which we pray
Jewel
Well 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 These foolish games are tearing me apart Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart You're breaking my heart
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
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
Jewel
Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.
Jewel
Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter - it's just safer.
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
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
Hard times make you bitter or make you more compassionate.
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
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
Without a band, I'm much more free to improvise.
Jewel
I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
Jewel
