At My Aunt's Funeral, I Promised Myself That I Wouldn't Be Bound By The Belief That I'm Supposed To Stay In Anything - Whether It's A Relationship, A Job, A House, Or A Circumstance - If It Makes Me Miserable. She Gave Me The Courage To Find My Own Happiness.

Heartbreak Was The Impetus To Me Writing Poems And Music In The First Place. Over The Years, I Had My Heart Broken So Badly That If I Didn't Find A Way To Get All The Pain Out, I Was Going To Lose My Mind. I Was Crazy! Like, Wanting To Slash Tires And Smash Car Windows. Crazy! I Was So Hurt That I Had To Write.

My Mother's A Genius. She Just Kept Feeding Me Art On Whatever We Had; Paper Plates, Silver Platter, Didn't Matter. You Know, She Just Kept Feeding It To Me. So We Went To See All Kinds Of Theater. We Would Go To The Art Museum Pretty Much Every Sunday, And I Would Watch Her. She Let Me Know That Art Was Supposed To Touch.

If A Woman Is Happy, Then Your Society Is Happy.

Everybody's Looking For Love, And You Want To Love Somebody And Be Loved In Return.
