I Learned A Lot About

I Think I'm A Living Embodiment Of, 'don't Try To Push Me Around Or Squash Me,' Whether Its How I Talk To A Record Label Or In My Relationships.

We Can Live In Fear Or Act Out Of Hope.

One Of The Biggest Obstacles I've Overcome In My Life Was Thinking I Didn't Deserve To Be Successful. Artistically I'm Not As Much Of A Heavyweight As Someone Like Paul Simon Or Joni Mitchell, Because I'm Not A Creator Of Original Music, And I Worried About That For Years.

Part Of The Reason I Had Such A Drive To Be An Activist, And Support Other Activists, Is Because I Was Raised Quaker And My Parents Kept Us Very Much Informed And Involved As Kids In Civil Rights And The Conservation Movement.

Some People Are Caricatures Of Themselves, And Some People Keep People Coming Back And Keep Themselves Growing. Otherwise, The Fans Would Get Bored.
