Quote

"You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory"
"We all have the need to feel special"
"In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us"
"I will never forget that. I was really young, about 6 or 7, and as a kid, that was very hurtful to me. I went through a lot, from age 15 to about 19 years. I was very young. I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have I done to deserve this?" - on recalling the day her father told her to stop calling him Dad."
We're all driven to premieres or nightclubs and seen the rope separating those who can enter and those who can't. Well, there's also a velvet rope we have inside of us, keeping others from knowing our feelings. In this album I'm trying to expose and explore thsoe feelings. I'm inviting you inside my barrier. During my life I've been on both sides of the rope. At times, especially during my childhood, I felt left out and alone. At times I felt misunderstood....But no human heard those feelings expressed. They stayed buried in the past. But now the truth has to come out, and for me, the truth takes the form of a song."
- on her 1997 recording "The Velvet Rope"."
It made me so happy. On my song "Whoops Now,' I even used the lyrics, 'I'm out in the sun having fun with my friends' [from that song]. There's also the Turtles' 'Happy Together' and the Association's 'Windy' and Simon and Garfunkel's 'Feelin' Groovy.' Those songs are all precious moments to me. They're about just plain feeling good."
- In a Rolling Stone '93 interview."
I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home. We had fawns that Michael and I raised until we weaned them and we'd feed them every morning. And I would talk to them....I felt they understood me. We had four dogs, and I would climb in the bushes and sit down and speak with them....And that's how I dealt with my life in the very, very beginning, when I was a kid."

"I was never pushed into the religion by my mother or anyone else. I made up my own mind when I was old enough. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual. But I don't believe in things like guilt. I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration."

"I've been very fortunate to have found someone who have been so incredibly caring....I don't think anybody else would have stuck around because I had some really difficult times.... And I know he probably would wake up and say, "Okay, who is she today?" I think anyone else would have said, 'You know what? I am out of here because I cannot take this.' But he was there, right by my side the entire way."
