Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.

The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have because when you're talking about building a house you're talking about dreams.

The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.

Definitely they write themselves. It's an amazing experience. It's like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me telling me their tales.

I've never stabbed hurt killed stolen anything but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman talking to myself is amazing.

I saw Ellen and my knees were weak. It was amazing. And it was very hard for me to get her out of my mind after that. Then when I saw her that night we started talking and that's that.

If you're truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time there's a family bond that you have. In fact I've talked about this with therapists especially if you're talking about a relationship because when you're with somebody you're going to your family and she's alone.

Men don't even ask me out. I can't remember the last time I was asked out on a date and I'm talking years here. I spend my life more and more alone.
