Zitat des Tages von Sarah McLachlan:
I don't tend to question things that much. If it feels right, I go for it.
It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.
I was put out there as a spokesperson for the new feminist revolution. It was very difficult because I was either too feminist or not feminist enough, depending on who you spoke to.
If you love large, you've got to hurt large. If you've got a lot of light, you've probably got an equal amount of darkness.
I'm a great mummy. I've mapped out all the fun spots in every city.
I've heard myself referred to as a quiet superstar, and I don't quite know what that means.
I kind of have a happy magnet. I can't stand being depressed, so I work my ass off to get out of it as soon as possible.
The darker and the sadder the song, the happier it makes me feel. It's just this, ah. I'm in the moment. I'm part of this beautiful world, and it's fantastic, and I don't really know how else to describe it.
I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.
I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.
Time is a beautiful thing. It's like when you meet an old lover on the street six years later and they don't look so ugly anymore.
I think... I'm perceived as an everyperson. There is no pedestal. I'm no different from anybody else.
I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.
I sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at.
I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
I'm not a media darling. I'm not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
With every record I put out, I got a bit more success, a bigger following in cities I would play in, and occasionally a bit of radio play.
I feel like I really tapped into a pretty honest emotional place for myself as a lyricist. There's a broad spectrum of emotions.
It's a big challenge for me to keep my integrity and some of my privacy intact.
I play piano every day.
It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.
I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions.
Half the bloody world is going through a divorce; more than that are having children. All of us have parents who are dying or have died. It's just the life cycle.
I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
We are in an age of technology where we sit in our little cubicles and we IM each other and Skype each other and never connect as human beings.
I don't think about what other people want from me.
We showed the industry that female artists could attract the same audiences as the big male stars.
I'll talk to any stranger about everything. I'm not guarded.
Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates.
Trying to force creativity is never good.
Deadlines are meant to be broken. And I just keep breaking them.
I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.
I don't court paparazzi. I definitely don't like that part of it.
I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to go crazy. I don't party like I used to.
I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.
