When I'm off the road my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature being in silence burning incense.

The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind no elements it can bend and withstand anything.

Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself or for anything else.

I think that if people are instructed about anything it should be about the nature of cruelty. And about why people behave so cruelly to each other. And what kind of satisfactions they derive from it. And why there is always a cost and a price to be paid.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

In nature we never see anything isolated but everything in connection with something else which is before it beside it under it and over it.

I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
