More quotes by Melissa Etheridge
I have found that I'm just political just by being who I am.
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.

I think the best way to be an activist is to live your life well and be honest. It means being out. If you are not comfortable marching, you can make a big difference just by working side by side with someone who actually knows you're gay and a fine human being.

I do believe in true bisexuality. We all have the capacity. [My partner] Julie is much more bisexual than I am. The more the world understands their bisexuality the better we'll be. I'm attracted to souls. I can be attracted to both.

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.

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
When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That's because it's scary and it's inviting.
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
Realizing I was gay was a long sort of waking up.
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'm one of those people that will say, 'My cancer was a gift.'
Melissa Etheridge
The sweetness is in having success with something you truly believe in.
Melissa Etheridge
I think it has done us more harm believing in the huge differences between left and right, Democrat and Republican.
Melissa Etheridge
This is the only naked man that will ever be in my bedroom.
Melissa Etheridge
Believe in yourself and what you feel. Your power will come from that.
Melissa Etheridge
You are digging for the answers until your fingers bleed, to satisfy the hunger, to satiate the need.... And as you pray in your darkness for wings to set you free, you are bound to your silent legacy.
Melissa Etheridge
To be completely stripped bare of any image power or my hair. To step onstage and get the response that I got blew any problems I had about self-image out the door.
Melissa Etheridge
My friends have always told me that rock stardom was wasted on me.
Melissa Etheridge
Your own personal health is your own personal choice, all the way down the line.
