I'm legally blind in one eye, and one eye is a totally different size than the other, and I have, like, a weird crossed-eye thing.
Voting is something that we all have a right to. It's not something that we have to do... it's absolutely an honor and a great opportunity to be heard.
Tearing down an old house and building a new one is the most wasteful thing we do as humans.
Love yourself. Then find something to love beyond yourself.
I was like a closet makeup fiend as a little girl because I knew that I would be guffawed at in school if I wore too much makeup.
I was a general contractor when I was paying for my first record.
I'm quite a nurturing person, and I'm more a mom than a crazy, partying rock star.
As a ski bum and someone who came up in a ski bum family, I understand the essence of what Colorado is all about.
I love Kind bars - I seriously always have them in my purse because they're so yummy.
I'm from Vermont, where to be stylish and cool is to have a dirty pair of hiking boots and know how to change a tire, hang drywall, and bale hay. Those people are my home, and every time I come home, it reminds me that there's something to be said for being in the spotlight, but it can never be a whole part of me.
Mick Jagger knows how to run a show. It's all about pacing. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. His output is amazing, but his movements are subtle. As I get older, I'll have to adhere to these rules.
When I grew up and went to school, all the cool kids were in Carhartts and Mudd boots, and they were listening to the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers and driving Volkswagens.
I really love what Chuck Berry did with Christmas music, and also the Rat Pack Christmas stuff, which I listened to all through my childhood.
Honestly, I don't think I ever really was a sweet country girl. I think that was a misconception about me. I was always bad.
My parents raised me on Spooky Tooth and The Band, Derek and the Dominoes, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, all that stuff. Rock n' roll was just in my subconscious.
I usually start with a lyric or a melody and then build a song around that.
When people see a talented girl, it calls to mind the very rare breed of women who have managed to succeed. If I were a dude with the exact same voice, band and songs, I doubt they'd compare me to Sheryl Crow. But hey, I'm not complaining. Big fish, small pond.
We are all just the tip of a pinprick of the millions of things that had to happen in order for us to be here.
I was kind of a troublemaker, believe it or not.
It's easy for me to write songs but hard for me to write an album; that's been my experience.
