“Being brave means that knowing when you fail, you won’t fail forever.”

I suppose my approach to religion is like my approach to music – I take what I want and leave the rest.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

Being human is difficult. Some people make it more difficult than others. I was one of those people.

I’ve got a war in my mind.

Life is beautiful, but you don’t have a clue.

The angels decided to shine on me for a little while.

Taking time for your art is taking time for yourself.

I never stopped writing about what was actually going on in my life. There’s nothing to hide.

I love to sing and I really love to write, but in terms of being onstage, I’m not that comfortable.

Even if you’re the best singer in the world, there’s a good chance no one will ever hear you.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day.

When you’re a gypsy at heart, it probably suits you to be traveling.

When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It’s a real release.

I’m interested in the gorgeous side of life, but also familiar with the dark side too.

No one compares to you, but there’s no you, except in my dreams tonight.

You do things so fast, you end up having so many different lifestyles all in one short time.

When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.

I’m not brave any more darling. I’m all broken. They’ve broken me.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I’ll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.
