“Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.”

“When my dad died a lot of songs came, and they're still coming.”

“Every person's every action has an effect.”

“My record label is treating me like I'm a new artist, which is exciting after all this time.”

“Once your kids get older and get out of the house, it's not like it stops. They're on the phone with me every day; I'm intimately involved in their problems.”

“No, my step-daughter just opened a theatre school for children, I have another daughter who works in the record industry and another who is going back to collage and I have two little ones at home.”

“If a relationship is founded on love it doesn't end.”

“And I kind of said to myself if I get my voice back I'm not going to take back the old anxiety about it and just focus on the limitations. I'm really going to enjoy it.”

“But there's nothing that gives me more thrill than when I'm writing and a couplet works. I find the right rhyme, or it's just perfect. There's nothing that exciting.”

“I was down with Lucinda Williams and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. We did an acoustic tour, just the three of us, three chicks and three guitars.”

“And I don't think that success is going to destroy me at this point in my life, like I used to think.”

“Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.”

“Because I was starting out in my 20's. I wanted to do it on my own. I didn't want to use my dad or have people say I was using him.”

“I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.”

“The new record started out being about loss, but it's morphed into being about how relationships go on even though one person is not in a body anymore.”

“War is idiocy. We live on a small, small planet, and what we do to others is what we do to ourselves.”

“I do not believe in terrorism, violence, destruction, murder, pre-emption, or War.”

“It is the people who scream the loudest about America and Freedom who see to be the most intolerant for a differing point of view.”

“I am so sick of reading about another car bomb, another suicide bomber, another 10, 20, 30, 70, 100 people dead in a day, both Americans and Iraqis.”

“I needed to carve out my own place and find out what I was going to do.”
