Meredith Brooks
If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.
Meredith Brooks

Meredith Brooks

Meredith Brooks
I had a very sexual experience onstage once. But I won't go there.
Meredith Brooks
The Graces was a great experience it's great working with women, but we weren't put together in an organic way, and I think that's why we didn't stay together. There wasn't that natural friendship.
Meredith Brooks
Whatever it is that you love to do, be it collect comic books or play the guitar, that you can make a living at it, do it.
Meredith Brooks
I had my dysfunctions, but music gave me peace and joy. I never felt in tune with the world. My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me. My art was my autonomy.
Meredith Brooks
I want to break the old paradigm of thinking that if you're successful, you have to crash and burn-that all of this won't be there tomorrow.
Meredith Brooks
I don't think science is totally true, because I've seen miracles happen through prayer.
Meredith Brooks
