My Son Quotes

I am a single mom and I’m the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that’s just the way it is. I don’t think my son even knows any different Picture Quote #1

I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people, and they’re singing my songs! And to me, that’s crazy Picture Quote #1

In college, I faced an interesting problem. I wanted to play music all the time and yet I wasn’t ready for anyone to hear it. To remedy this, I took to retreating to stairwells as a safe place to sing and write music. It was there that I wrote most of my songs in college and really grew into an artist Picture Quote #1

My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn’t want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where life’s going, but soon it will be gone. I hope the wind that’s blowing helps me carry on. Turn on the radio, baby listen to my song. Turn on the night light baby, I’m gone Picture Quote #1

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I’d force myself to sit down until I came up with something Picture Quote #1

All my songs come from me because I only seem able to write about myself and my experiences Picture Quote #1

I’m 64 years old and, yeah, I went through a transition in my life last year, with the death of my son, that woke me up to a lot of things. You know, I’m perfectly happy in my own little groove. Marching along, building my company, and you know, a happy person Picture Quote #1

If I can go through what I’ve been through and do a television show with my son and then be a boy from the hood making records for the people I make records for, that’s reality Picture Quote #1

I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss. My heart was broken by my dark lady, and I wept, in my room, alone; but while I wept, somewhere inside I smiled Picture Quote #1

It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time Picture Quote #1

If I could, I would have my son on tour the whole time. But he has school, summer camp, and he has to see his mother Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at myself as a celebrity. People recognize me, but it’s all about my music, my songs. It’s not like I’m a greater being. I take my kids to school, pick them up, go to the grocery store. I’m a mother, and my kids mean more to me than even being an artist Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it’s my song, I can make it seem honest Picture Quote #1

If my father could watch my son for a while, he might realize his own immortality Picture Quote #1

My son ain’t going to be miserable because he’s going to be the child of a rock star, the end Picture Quote #1

I work so I don’t need to make rent through my songs, and I think if more people engaged with music without needing it to provide for their welfare, you’re not beholden to anyone Picture Quote #1
