My goal was livelihood. we don't use that word often enough. if i could give one piece of advice to anyone it's don't obsess with this notion that you have to turn everything you do into a business, because that ends up being a small version of a large company. but if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

I didn’t and don’t want to be a ‘feminine’ version or a diluted version or a special version or a subsidiary version or an ancillary version, or an adapted version of the heroes i admire. i want to be the heroes themselves.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Here's the pay paradox that why men earn more explains: men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). the opposite is true for women: women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power (the option to raise children, or to not take a hazardous job).

In wanting freedom we discover that it depends entirely on the freedom of others, and that the freedom of others depends on ours. . . i am obliged to want others to have freedom at the same time that i want my own freedom. i can take freedom as my goal only if i take that of others as a goal as well.

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.

As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, i am all colors in the rainbow. i've been through everything, you know, so i can write a positive song like 'better get to livin'' because that's my attitude. but that doesn't mean i'm happy all the time. you can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. you kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. the fear i might get hurt means i might not be able to write another song.

Singing live is my favorite. when people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.

It will affect me in ways i can't even begin to get my mind around. this day is a dark crater. there is no room for songs. the songs are wrong. every song is wrong. and i don't know what to do without music.
