More quotes by Melissa Etheridge
Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of it was fear. Refuse to hand it down - the legacy stops here.
Melissa Etheridge
On the road, as a 'rock star,' there's superficial attention and adulation is thrown at you for a couple of hours - then you're alone in your room and it's lonely.
Melissa Etheridge
My wife works harder than anyone else with the children around the house. I make the money, sure, but she does everything else.
Melissa Etheridge
There is no fear when you choose love. The more you choose love, the more love is in your life. It gets easier and easier.
Melissa Etheridge
I have days when I say, 'I'm going to have five chocolate chip cookies today.' I'll have a salad every day but every week I have a cheat day.
Melissa Etheridge
Cancer's like the ultimate excuse. Who's gonna say, 'Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?' 'Hey, I got cancer. I can't be there.' It's the ultimate eraser.
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
I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.
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 one of those people that will say, 'My cancer was a gift.'
Melissa Etheridge
I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and 'why me,' or I can look at it through love and say, 'This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: 'Hey, you're out of balance here. It's time to get in line with yourself.'
Melissa Etheridge
Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are. Everybody clings to their own fear. Everybody hides some scar - Precious pain. Empty and cold but it keeps me alive. I gave it my soul so that I could survive - keeping me safe in these chains.
Melissa Etheridge
Realizing I was gay was a long sort of waking up.
Melissa Etheridge
Video is a funny thing. It's one thing to be an artist, singer-songwriter, and use words and create pictures in people's minds. And then be asked to do video for it, to actually give a certain visual for your song.
Melissa Etheridge
I think Patsy Cline made country music classy. She just opens her mouth, and it's just heavenly.
Melissa Etheridge
I taught Brad Pitt how to fly-fish in my swimming pool!
Melissa Etheridge
I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'
Melissa Etheridge
I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity.
Melissa Etheridge
Your own personal health is your own personal choice, all the way down the line.
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
