I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.
Melissa Etheridge
I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.

Melissa Etheridge
I'm very fortunate that I have a wonderful family around me and loved ones.
Melissa Etheridge
I can feel the thunder underneath my feet
Melissa Etheridge
I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.
Melissa Etheridge
I saw you with your envoy A consenting adult Technique in moderation But vogue to the cult Me I've got my strangers To exile in the night I guess I'm just addicted To the pain of delight
Melissa Etheridge
I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car. I'm only lonely after dark. I'm only lonely when I watch my TV. I'm only lonely occasionally.
Melissa Etheridge
We have a choice every day between fear and love.
Melissa Etheridge
I think Patsy Cline made country music classy. She just opens her mouth, and it's just heavenly.
Melissa Etheridge
I write songs for people who drive in cars. I really do.
