I'm frustrated by something, it's my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it's just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does? |
I'm not anxious to be anywhere other than where I am right now. |
I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much. |
If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country. |

If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well. |
In the past, when I'd recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn't getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing. |
It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal. |
It's true. I'm a simple person. Some people tend to live from trauma to trauma, and that energizes them. I have a hectic schedule, but my mind seeks simplicity - like being in nature, a long bike ride, or sitting on the back porch. |
Just didn't know what was gonna happen to us, just didn't know where we were gonna go. Didn't have a clue as to what we were gonna do next, |
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times. |
Looking at little Conner take those steps across the stage, and I thought everyone of us knows the feeling of facing something that just seems insurmountable. Sometimes it just takes a little time. |
Music took a bunch of average-Joe Christians who could play electric guitar and sing and threw them into the limelight. But we were not a bunch of Billy Grahams. |
My energy was focused on trying to find my way out of a deep, dark wood, and getting good help that I trusted, and being involved with the people I was responsible for and responsible to. Beyond that extended family/friends/church base, there was no energy to consider who was putting the ban on me. If somebody made that choice, I totally respect that. But I had no interest in trying to justify anything to anybody. |
One of the great things about being older is you can be a sounding board, a good listener. But to be honest, I'd just as soon look down a loaded shotgun barrel than snap my fingers and suddenly be 94 today! Growing old isn't for the the weak at heart. The hardest thing would be to see your body backfire. And the whole wrinkle thing is really odd. |
