I created myself. I have taught myself so much.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

I got my own back.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.

All great achievements require time.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
