Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places, with great people – there’s not a great downside to it.

Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that’s what it feels like to me. Whether that’s what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the...

I can see how the young girls really get hurt when their moms are critical, or vice versa when they’re overly critical of their moms. It can be so painful.

I’m not not going to stop giving away what I feel about something.

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.

I’m not like a poker player. I’m not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I’m intending to go. My cards are always on the table.

I am the worst influence. If you can’t handle your vices, then I am the Devil.

I’ve got tonnes of aboriginal and Native American art, but I’d like even more.

A lot of the carols were not as you hear them now.

Some people say, I’d give anything to be 30 again. Well, I really wouldn’t. I didn’t enjoy being 30.

If you can’t create physical life, you find a life force. If that’s in music, that’s in music. I started to find this deep, primitive rhythm, and I started to move to it. And I...

I’m really quite happy to say that in my early 40s, I wake up feeling sexy, and I can’t say I felt that way in my late 20s.

A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that’s slightly different in order to get inspiration.

I’m not very social when I’m off the promo trail, because I step into wife and mother mode. It’s very reclusive.

I have a rule that I don’t read my press, but then somebody in the crew will be reading it and of course it’s right there, so what do you think I do?

When I was little, my mom tells me, I used to say things like, ‘Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section?’ And she would look at me and say,...

Give me peace, love, peace, love, give me peace, love, and a hard cock

Never was a cornflake girl;Thought it was a good solution: hanging with the raisin girls.

Even if everything else is downplayed, I’ll wear good shoes.

As the sun sets, we’ve all had those nights where you question your choices and where your life is going.

If you think a child is going to be your accessory… it’s not like a micro pig. It’s not about putting them in front of the television. You need to read to them at night.

I’ve worked with many powerful men in the music industry.

You know that saying, bad things don ‘ t happen to good people?. That ‘ s a lie.

A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.

I’ve been known to throw watermelons, backstage, at people who are giving me news I don’t want to hear. But I never aim for the head.

There’s a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can’t write. It’s a big business.

After a while of getting jerked around, you realize what the business is really made up of.

The pop world has really opened its doors.

I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs…. because they have the most to hide. The guys that are in the most pain are usually the ones...

Sometimes you have to do what you don’t like to get to where you want to be.

Not everybody wants to have the same career. I think what’s difficult is when you have two people that do something very, very similar and they both, say, want the limelight. That’s very tricky.

I’ve carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

I have built my world through Native American mythology.

When one doesn’t want the limelight, but is also creative in developing whatever it is they are, then you can have two equal people that aren’t competing against each other. I think when you are...

You know that saying, bad things dont happen to good people?. Thats a lie.

I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely.

Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me.

I don’t really cook. There are caterers, and my husband cooks.

My brother was a fantastic cheerleader for my development as a musician. He was almost 10 years older than me and would really push me to develop as a songwriter.

It’s fun to write your set list 20 minutes before and keep the crew very much on their toes.

Women must understand that simply attacking or hating men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn’t give her power.

There is an energy that you carry when you’re nurturing another life where you’re protecting first – and once you know that cub is out of the way of the hunter’s gun, you can be...

If I was writing songs just for me I’d only play them in my living room, alone.

I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me.

At 15, I knew someone whose mother cooked macrobiotic, so I persuaded my mother to go macrobiotic with me.

There are enough scary rock & roll mothers in the world.

It’s as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what’s hidden, not necessarily satanic.

I know I’m an acquired taste – I’m anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things.

Some of the biggest advocates for feminism seem to believe that in order to feel powerful you have to make another woman subservient, and that is not what feminism is about at all.
