I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

That is what fame is, isn’t it? To get the world to fall in love with you.

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‚I’m not interested,‘ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

It has been hard for me to find it, but I have found love.

We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

Where love is, there God is also.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She’s sort of become my fairy godmother.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
