Melissa Etheridge
Laughing is a medicine. It releases this amazing stuff.
Melissa Etheridge
People ask me, 'Is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' And I say, 'Oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.
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
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
We have a choice every day between fear and love.
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.
