I am as free as nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began, When wild in woods the noble savage ran.
I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.
I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don't want bodyguards. I am my own security.
Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.
I think the unconditional love you get from an animal, especially a dog, is better than anything else.
When I got a record deal I said, 'I'm only wearing jeans. I'm not wearing frilly dresses. ' Dancing around in sequins is just not who I am. I wanted to be heard, not seen.
I just feel like it's easier to co-write sometimes, especially if you have chemistry with somebody. It kind of takes all the pressure off of you. But, you know, I started writing songs by myself. I didn't really have a co-writer, besides my dad. When I see a record and it has a song on it that someone wrote [alone], I just really believe in them as a writer. I feel like it's a window into them, more than it is if you write a song with someone else.
My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.
When we use this word fun, it sort of bangs up the ordinary and the extraordinary altogether.
Those who keep learning, will keep rising in life
Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?
