"The easiest thing is to start blaming the company – they didn’t let me do what I wanted – but often enough, we stop ourselves because it is scary to take a risk."

"I definitely feel, as a woman at a certain age, if you don’t fit into a certain box, it becomes hard for everybody else."

"You have to be a citizen of the world."

"Coming out this year taught me that you have to be yourself. I’m lucky to live in a place where I can announce my relationship with a woman."

"Cutting my hair was probably the starting point of embracing myself. We try to control the natural things about ourselves because we’ve been told to be something else. Every part of my life now is authentic and it feels so refreshing."

"Everybody is spiritual."

"Music gave me an identity."

"Historically, the image of women in pop music has been so totally ornamental - sexual, but predictably so. It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years. Certainly, if you look at the pop charts as a measuring stick, you'd think it hasn't come far at all. But women do feel less like victims now than they did twenty years ago. At heart I'm a feminist, but I'm also a feminist for men. Men should be liberated from the roles that are foisted on them also."

"And If you're trying to cut me down You know that I might bleed 'Cause if you're trying to cut me down I know that you'll succeed And if you want to hurt me There's nothing left to fear 'Cause if you want to hurt me You're doing really well my dear"

"I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind But I can still read what you're thinking. And I've heard it said too many times That you'd be better off Besides, why can't you see this boat is sinking?"

"I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can."

"We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item."

"You still got that light in your eye, And our day is comin’ by and by. I’m travellin’ this long road here with you; We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go."

"But you know he'll always keep movin'; You know he's never gonna stop movin. Cus he's rollin', He's the rollin' stone.And when you wake up it's a new mornin'. The sun is shinin' it's a new morning. You're goin', You're goin' home."

"Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own, Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.Down the street the neon light shines, Offering refuge and hope to the blind, Who stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low, And I end up looking for some winner goal. Yes I should know better but I can't say no."

"Out on the street I was talkin' to a man. He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand." You shouldn't worry I said, that ain't no crime. 'Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time."

"Windin' your way down on Baker Street, Light in your head and dead on your feet. Well another crazy day, You'll drink the night away And forget about everything. This city desert makes you feel so cold. It's got so many people, but it's got no soul. And it's taking you so long To find out you were wrong, When you thought it had everything."

"You know I need your love, you got that hold over me. As long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave. When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind. And it's been you, woman, right down the line."

"Well I don't know why I came here tonight. I got the feeling that something ain't right. I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, Stuck in the middle with you."

"“The lamp’s not shining.” He pointed at the glow on the wall. “That’s the angel. He’s blinking the lamp.”"

"If only everyone could see, they would realize that the one they thought weak, was actually the strongest one among them."

"“Perhaps Keith is exactly the way God intended him to be.”"

"Keith seems to be able to see and hear angels from time to time."

"I hardly think an angel would walk around like a homeless person in the middle of New York."

"“Tearing out the old, icky stuff is hard, it’s messy—ouch!” He dropped the hammer from his right hand and shook his left. “Ouch!” He danced around for a minute before regaining his composure, picking up the hammer and nail again, then looked at her straight-faced. “And at times it’s downright painful. But you’ve got to be willing to go through the process if you really want to see a true change. Anything less is just a cover-up.”"

"“…to know Keith is to love him. A lot of people seem to be especially disturbed by him, although I’ve never understood why. Does he make you uncomfortable?” There was no hint of judgment in her question, just curiosity."

"That’s where faith comes in. You trust that Someone bigger than you can handle it, and you learn that it’s okay to accept help every now and then instead of always giving it."

""I think it’s time I started believing in something.”"

"“I’ve seen things like this before,” the woman medic said. “Awed whispers, peaceful expressions when there shouldn’t be one, and almost always a song. Once I even thought I heard the tune. Makes you wonder what’s out there.”"

"“I’m sure that if he really does see angels, they are sent to him for a specific purpose that is beyond our understanding. And if someone else—say, you, for example—were to see or hear angels, it might be for an altogether different purpose.”"

"“‘Don’t forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.’ It’s from the Bible. Maybe your friend’s an angel too. I hope you were nice to him.”"

"“That’s why God sends His angels to me and you, maybe. So we won’t be sad anymore.”"

"I have done. Well, I've shared a moving vehicle with 18 naked men — not many women do that... fantastic, never felt better."

"I'm a sucker for tragedy - I love the death scenes."

"Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don’t stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me. I see very little in our culture, actually, of women necessarily standing up for one another. I think there’s still an underlying fear if one woman has the light shone upon her, it takes away from your light, which of course is not the case at all. But I think when you’re young, you maybe fear that."

"I like communicating. I think it’s as simple as that. I get really lonely and dark if I can’t communicate with people."

"I've lived here before in days of old I recognise these buildings in my soul I know each winding road and every rise is friendly and familiar to my eyes"

"I can feel it in my blood that I belong to this strange and stony rock I stand upon yet I cannot put a name upon it I cannot place the time nor see the land as it once was nor tell which house was mine no I cannot put a name upon it which was where and when yet here I am a perfect stranger home again."

"At sea on a ship in a thunderstorm on the very night the Christ was born a sailor heard from overhead a mighty voice cry "Pan is Dead!" So follow Christ as best you can Pan is dead — Long live Pan!"

"Some say the Gods are just a myth but guess Who I've been dancing with... The Great God Pan is alive!"

"Seek the light find the light feel the light be the light."

"I was grounded while you filled the skies I was dumbfounded by truth you cut through lies I saw the lone empty valley you saw Brigadoon I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon"

"I pictured a rainbow you held it in your hands I had flashes but you saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon."

"He's like a man you'd meet any place until you recognize that ancient Face The Great God Pan is alive!"

"There's confusion in my head as I depart but a singing, ringing, soaring in my heart for beyond all time and space and doubt I know I've lived here before long ago."

"You're trying to make sense of something that you just don't see You're trying to make sense now and you know you once held the key But that was the river this is the sea."

"Once you were tethered now you are free That was the river this is the sea."

"The stars are alive and nights like these were born to be sanctified by you and me."

"I spoke about wings you just flew I wondered I guessed and I tried you just knew I sighed but you swooned I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon"

"Come with me on a journey beneath the skin We will look together for the Pan within."
